Power Modes 11
E-EQ-RX2RG-B RX2 Reference Guide
Power Modes
The RX2 does not support power management. The RX2 has two modes, On and Off.
On Mode
The RX2 is in the On mode when:
• A power source is present (charged internal battery or DC power is connected), and
• The power switch, if present, is flipped to On, and
• The RX2 Charger is not connected.
The On state is indicated by the blinking Power LED.
While the RX2 is booting, the Power LED is lit solid green (good battery power) or red (low
battery power). When the RX2 has finished booting, the power LED begins flashing green (good
battery power) or red (low battery power).
Once the RX2 has finished booting, the radio driver loads and the RFID reader is ready for use.
At this point, the RX2 is ready to run the user applications.
The RX2 remains on until:
• Battery power is exhausted (for internal battery powered unit), or
• The power switch, if present, is flipped Off, or
• DC power connection is removed, or
• The RX2 Charger is connected.
When any of the above conditions are met, the RX2 transitions to the Off state.
Off Mode
The unit is in Off Mode when
• The battery is depleted (for units powered by an internal battery), regardless of
power switch position, or
• The battery charger is attached to the RX2, regardless of power switch position, or
• The power switch, if present, is switched to Off,
• DC power connection is removed
If the power switch (if present) is set to On, the RX2 boots up when the battery charger is
disconnected.
If there is no power switch, the RX2 boots up when DC power is applied.
