Lowrance electronic iWAY 350C - Manual (Page 10)

4
NOTE:
When operating on external power, the iWAY is designed to enter a
Standby mode if the external power source fails. For full details, see
the discussion of power button functions in Sec. 4.
External Power and Standby Mode
The iWAY has an optional Standby Mode (on by default) which allows
the unit to conserve power while not in use. When the iWAY is in
Standby Mode, it will activate quickly when powered up.
If the iWAY is running on external power, and that power source is re-
moved, the iWAY will display a dialog box informing you that it is
about to enter Standby Mode. If you want to keep operating the iWAY,
touch the screen to interrupt automatic Standby.
However, if the iWAY does enter Standby in this manner, it will auto-
matically restart (or "wake up") as soon as external power is reconnected.
Tip:
These features of Standby Mode can be particularly handy in vehi-
cles where the ignition controls the cigarette lighter. In such vehi-
cles, connect the iWAY to external power. Turning the car off will
automatically place the iWAY in Standby and starting the car will
restart the iWAY.
External Connections
On the right side of your iWAY, you will find 3 sockets for external con-
nections. These are, from top to bottom, the USB cable connection (for
software updates), the headphone connection (which also works as a
line-out, for vehicles with an auxiliary line input to the stereo system),
and the power connection (described earlier).
USB-to-PC Cable Connection
The iWAY comes with a cable designed to allow you to copy files from
your computer to the iWAY's MMC or SD Card. In this way, the iWAY
acts like a card reader. Please read the supplemental document Making
USB Connections Between iWAY 350c and Computers (which should be
included with this unit) for details on attaching and using the USB-to-
PC Cable Connection.
MMC or SD Card
On the left side your iWAY, you will find the MMC or SD Card slot, as
shown in the following images. You will need an MMC (or SD) card to
play music or view a photo slideshow.
