Battery Notices

The MT680-AMWTAG is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery. But, after extended storage periods, the MT680-AMWTAG may not start without an external power source due to battery discharge. In this case, connect the MT680-AMWTAG to the power cable and recharge the MT680-AMWTAG for about 12 hours to charge the battery to full capacity.

The battery supplies operational power to the MT680-AMWTAG for approximately two hours (depending on hardware configuration and with limited backlight use) or provides backup data for three days when there is no external power source.

Battery Charge Notice

It is important to consider the environmental temperature whenever the Lithium-Ion battery is charged, which is most efficient at room temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the range of 0°C to 45°C (32ºF to 113ºF). Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.

Storage and Safety Notice

Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may deplete due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may store at temperatures between -20°C to 60°C (-4ºF to 140ºF), however they may deplete more rapidly at the warmer end of this temperature range. It is also recommended to store batteries at room temperature.

Warranty

The following items are covered under Unitech Limited Warranty:

•

MT680-AMWTAG Versatile Multi-Function Terminal. – 1-year limited warranty.

• Cables – three-month limited warranty.

• Backup Battery – three-month limited warranty.

Power System

Charging the Battery for the First Time

The MT680-AMWTAG is equipped with a Lithium-Ion battery. The MT680-AMWTAG may not power on after long storage periods without an external power adapter, due to battery discharge. In this case, connect the MT680-AMWTAG to the power adapter and recharge the device for about 12 hours.

NOTE: The MT680-AMWTAG can operate for approximately two hours (depending on the hard-

ware configuration and backlight usage) or can store data for 24 hours without external power. Operating the MT680-AMWTAG’s backlight screen at 100 percent brightness consumes the most power. Therefore, when the MT680-AMWTAG disconnects from its external power source it will enter into sleep mode, which automatically turns off the backlight. Tapping the touchscreen will set the backlight screen to minimum brightness, saving battery power.

Checking the Battery Status

Check the Power Properties by tapping Start → Settings → Control Panel → double-tap

Power.

This status icon appears on the MT680-AMWTAG’s task-bar indicating the low battery status. The MT680-AMWTAG will enter suspend mode when the battery level reaches Low status, and the MT680-AMWTAG will enter sleep mode when the battery level reaches Very Low status. There is a 12 hour time window to recharge the MT680-AMWTAG, but after this time period there is a strong risk of losing all the

MT680-AMWTAG's internal memory

This icon appears in the taskbar when the battery is Very Low and the battery should be recharged as soon as possible.

CAUTION! Immediately backup the

MT680-AMWTAG’s data or risk losing everything when there is no external power, and the Main Batteries Very Low warning window appears.

Extending Battery Life

Extend the MT680-AMWTAG’s battery life through the following:

• Change the automatic power settings.

• Reduce the CPU speed.

• Minimize the backlight.

Changing the Automatic Power Settings

The MT680-AMWTAG enters an idle mode when there is no task, or all tasks are waiting for input. In the default setting, the MT680-AMWTAG enters User Idle mode when there is no data input for one minute. The MT680- AMWTAG remains idle for three minutes when there is no external power source. Pressing the power button will return the MT680-AMWTAG to the automatic shutdown mode screen.

Change the automatic power settings through the following:

1. Open the Power Properties by tapping

Start → Settings → Control Panel →

Power.

2. Tap the Schemes tab.

3. Tap the automatic shut off time arrow to select from a list of time periods for the following modes:

– Switch state to User Idle: The MT680-AMWTAG switches to User Idle mode when there is no

user input after the selected time.

– Switch State to System Idle: The MT680-AMWTAG switches from User Idle mode to System

Idle mode when the system is inactive after the selected time.

– Switch State to Suspend: The MT680-AMWTAG switches from System Idle mode to Suspend

mode when the system is inactive after the selected time.

The available time periods are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 and 30 minutes.

Reducing CPU Speed

Reduce the CPU speed through the following:

1. Tap Start → Settings → Control Panel → double-tap CPU Speed.

2. Select a lower CPU speed to conserve battery power.

Chapter 4 Power System

Adjusting the Backlight

Conserve the MT680-AMWTAG’s battery power by adjusting the backlight screen settings through the following:

NOTE: The MT680-AMWTAG screen contrast has been preset by Unitech for optimum performance.

1. Tap Start → Settings → Control Panel → double-tap Backlight to adjust

the screen brightness.

2. The color display’s backlight can be customized for the Battery Power and External Power conditions. Set the backlight behavior and drag the On Intensity and Dim Intensity sliders to

the desired levels.

Field Description

Dim Backlight Minutes until the backlight dims.

Turn Off Backlight Minutes until the backlight turns

automatically off.

Turn on Backlight The backlight turns on when a button is

pressed, or the touch-screen is tapped.

Performing a Hardware Reset

Perform a reset if the MT680-AMWTAG freezes (i.e., the device no longer responds to pressing buttons on/or the touch-screen).

Performing a Warm Start

A Warm Start is used to reset or reboot the device without losing data stored in RAM memory. Perform a Warm Start in any of the following situations:

• The MT680-AMWTAG fails to respond.

Chapter 4 Power System

Performing a Cold Start

A Cold Start will erase all added data and programs, but it will restore the device to the default factory settings. However, data and application programs stored in the Flash Storage will not be deleted.

Always perform a Warm Start before attempting to use a Cold Start to correct a problem. Data previously synchronized to the computer can be restored during a future Microsoft ActiveSync operation, or data can be restored from a backup storage card.

Perform a Cold Start by using the BootMode utility in the operating system, or by pressing the Cold Start Button on the MT680’s back panel.

Perform a cold start in the following situations:

• Reset the operating system.

• Restore th

e MT680-AMWTAG back to factory settings.
