• Standby

• Wake Up

•

Reset

Power On

This chapter describes methods to power on the CPU box in normal and extreme conditions.

NOTE: Prior to powering on the CPU, ensure that the main power switch on the rear CPU panel is in the ON position.

Normal operation

The CPU box can be turned on either from the vehicle ignition switch or by the power button located on the front panel.

• If the CPU box power is connected directly to the battery (and not through the ignition switch) and configured to be turned on/off only by the power button (see section 3, Ignition boot up preference setting is NONE), press the Power button on the front panel of the CPU box.

• If the CPU box power is connected through the ignition and configured to be turned on/off by both the ignition switch and the power button (see section 3, Ignition boot up preference setting is POWER ON), insert the car key into the ignition switch and rotate it to ACC position or press the Power button on the front panel of the CPU box.

•

If the CPU box power is connected through the ignition and configured to be turned on/off only from the ignition switch (see section 3, Ignition boot up preference setting is POWER BUTTON LOCK), insert the car key into the ignition switch and rotate it to ACC position.

When the CPU is turned on, the pre-installed Operating System will be automatically loaded. This process takes some time; please wait until this process is completed before using the computer.

10 MW800 CPU Owner’s Manual

Low Temperature Conditions

The device supports working hard disk conditions even if it’s turned off. When the ambient temperature drops below the low hard disk operational limit, an internal heater will automatically adjust and maintain the working conditions (see Hard disk heating when device is off parameter in section 3) for pre-defined time.

• If the CPU is turned on when Hard disk heating when device is off time-out has not expired yet and the hard disk temperature is within the operating range, the CPU will boot up immediately.

•

If the CPU is turned on when Hard disk heating when device is off time-out occurs and the hard disk temperature is below the low hard disk operational limit, the CPU will activate the internal heater and will boot up only when the hard disk temperature returns to the operating range. The heating process takes some time that can be optimized (see Heater optimization parameter in section 3); please wait until this process is completed.

NOTE: If the power source is a 9VDC car battery (see Power source parameter in section 3), the device will not power up when the temperature range is below the low operational limit.

High Temperature Conditions

The device will be turned on only if an ambient temperature does not exceed the high operational limit.

NOTE: In extreme conditions, the overall performance of the device (including boot up time and sustained operations) may be degraded. It will return to normal when the ambient temperature returns to the operating range.

CAUTION: If overheating, do not turn on the device until it cools down.

Discharged Vehicle Battery

If the power source is a 13.8VDC car battery (see Power source parameter in section

3), the device will normally power up when the voltage level exceeds 10.3VDC.

If the power source is a 9VDC car battery (see Power source parameter in section

3), the device will normally power up when the voltage level exceeds 9VDC.

Shut Down

This chapter describes methods to power off the CPU box in normal and extreme conditions.

Normal Operation

The CPU box can be turned off either by the vehicle ignition switch or by the power button located on the front panel. The CPU box can also be turned off with the Windows Shut Down process. Remember to save important information before turning the device off.

• If the CPU box is connected via the ignition and configured to be powered off by the ignition switch (see section 3, Ignition shut down preference setting is SHUTDOWN), rotate the car key it to OFF position. The device will automatically shut the Windows down when the Ignition shutdown

time-out expires and power is off.

NOTE: A Windows pop-up dialog will warn you about power off from the ignition switch. You can cancel this operation up until the Ignition shutdown time-out has expired.

•

If the CPU box is not connected via the ignition and configured to power off only by the power button (see section 3, Ignition shut down preference setting is NONE), briefly press the Power button. The device will shut Windows down and power off.

•

If the system does not respond, you can turn the device off by pressing and holding the power button for 6 seconds or more. To permit this option,

Critical turn off parameter (see Section 3) setting should be ENABLE.

CAUTION: This method of hardware power off may damage your hard disk.

Extreme Shut Down

Certain extreme events may cause you device to power off, including ambient temperature outside the operating limits or discharged car battery.

Selecting desired notifications in the Agent Notification tab of the CPU Manager application (see Section 4) provides a notice if an extreme event should occur. In this case you should immediately save your data.

•

Internal temperature drops below the low operational limit. If during operation the ambient temperature exceeds the operating temperature range or internal temperature drops below the low operational limit for any reason, the CPU processor eventually powers off. A message ”CPU

temperature is low. The system will shutdown in 3 minutes. Please save your work” will warn you about this event.

CAUTION:

If extremely low temperature is the reason for the shut down, do

not turn on the device until it heats up.

12 MW800 CPU Owner’s Manual

• Internal temperature exceeds the high operational limit. If during operation the ambient temperature exceeds the operating temperature range or internal temperature exceeds the high operational limit for any reason, the CPU processor gradually slows down, and eventually powers off. A message ”CPU temperature is high. The system will shutdown in 3

minutes. Please save your work” will warn you about this event.

CAUTION: If overheating is a reason for the shut down, do not turn on the

device until it cools down.

•

Vehicle battery is discharged. If, during normal operation, the battery voltage drops below 10.5VDC the device will provide Low Battery indication (the MW800 display power indicator blinks yellow). A message ”Vehicle Battery is Low. The system will shutdown in 3 minutes. Please save your work” will warn you about this event. If the voltage continues to drop, the device automatically powers off at

8.5VDC.

• Drops in car battery voltage. If battery voltage drops below the 8.8V limit for 20 seconds or more, the device will execute critical shut off and power itself off.

Power Management

This chapter describes low-power mode (standby) and resume normal operating mode. In low-power state, the CPU enters a power-saving mode, turns off the display backlight and slows down the CPU speed; the internal radios remain powered on. To resume normal operation, touch the display panel or press any display function key.

MW800 Display Utilities

This application provides the following capabilities:

• Calibration Tool calibrates the touch screen interface to the display

monitor

• ExtraKey Application configures the MW800 display functional buttons

for other Windows applications

• MW Display Tester troubleshoots several display problems

• Volume Bar sets of the current volume level

Calibration

Sometimes there is a need to calibrate the touch panel attached to the display monitor, i.e. to adjust the pushed position of the panel and its display position of the monitor. Even if the touch panel has same dimensions as the display monitor, there may be minor variations between corresponding data points due to resistance variance of each panel. When you use touch panel module for the first time, or, when there is discrepancy between the touched and displayed positions, calibration is required. This needs to be done only once, whereupon the calibration data is stored. The CPU will automatically calculate the touched position on display monitor.
