Switching the Omnii On and Off
Follow the instructions below for your Omnii. If your keyboard has a power button (55- and 66-key key-
boards only), press that instead of the
[FN]
+
[Enter/Power]
key combinations described.
Switching the Omnii On
•
Press and hold down the
[Enter/Power]
key for at least one second.
When the unit is turned off, normally it automatically enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the
Omnii is switched on from the suspend state, within a few seconds operation resumes in the screen in which
you were working prior to turning the computer off.
Switching the Omnii Off
•
To switch off the Omnii, press the
[FN]
key and then press and release the
[Enter/Power]
button. The
Omnii will automatically enter the
Suspend
state.

Resetting the Omnii
To perform a warm or cold reset, you can access the menu by going to
Start>Shutdown
. Alternatively you
can use the keyboard shortcuts described below.
Important: If your Omnii fails to power up, consider the following troubleshooting options:
The battery may be overheated (>60C°), a non-Psion battery may be installed, or
the battery may have fallen below the configured Suspend Threshold. See “Sus-
pend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 89 for details.
To switch on the hand-held, you will need to replace the overheated battery.
However, if you supply AC power to the Omnii with a battery that falls below the
configured Suspend Threshold, the unit will switch on.
Important: Turning off the hand-held does not result in a complete shutdown; rather, the unit
enters a power-saving, “suspend” state. When the Omnii is turned on from
suspend state, operation resumes within a few seconds.
Important: If the word ‘FN’ is displayed underlined in the taskbar area at the bottom of the
screen, this key is locked “on” and the Omnii will not switch off. Press the [FN]
key twice followed by [Enter/Power] to switch the Omnii off.
However, if you’ve set the mode to “Lock” (see “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on
page 78), the Omnii can be turned off even when the [FN] key is locked ‘on’.
Note: If your Desktop is switched to the PsionVU Shell (refer to “The PsionVU Desktop Shell” on
page 42), resetting the unit is done solely by use of the keyboard shortcuts.
