Power Modes
The VX7 has four power modes: On, User Idle, Suspend and Off.
Note: The VX7 does not support System Idle mode.
On Mode
When the VX7 is attached to either vehicle 12-80 VDC or an external power supply and the power button is pressed, the VX7 is
in the On mode. In this mode, the keypad, touch screen and any attached peripherals such as a scanner function normally. The
display remains on until the backlight timer (if enabled) expires.
User Idle Mode
If the Display Backlight Timer is enabled (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Display), the VX7 enters User Idle Mode when the
display backlight timer expires without any Primary Event (see below) to reset the timer. The VX7 exits User Idle Mode with
any Primary Event.
The keypress or screen touch that exits User Idle Mode is sent to the operating system.
The VX7 then transitions to On Mode.
Primary Events
l Any key on the keypad
l COM1 activity
l Stylus touch on the touch screen
l Scanner activity
l Power button tap
l USB client connection

Suspend Mode
The VX7 does not support Suspend mode. However, if the Suspend timer is enabled (Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Power), the VX7 transitions to Off mode when the Suspend timer expires.
Off Mode
The VX7 turns off if the user presses the power button when the VX7 is On. The VX7 is also off when it is not connected to a
power source. However, an internal Real Time Clock (RTC) powered by an internal battery maintains the date and time while
the VX7 is off.
