R

The system battery is running low.  The optional parameter of this event mesĆ

sage contains the last four bytes of the current 

.  Use the

message to determine the current battery status without polling NORĆ

WINPM.DRV.

The user has pressed the suspend/resume switch and wants to suspend the sysĆ

tem.  Drivers or applications that attempt to fail this request probably become

an annoyance to the user unless the drivers put up some sort of polite explanaĆ

tion as to why the system does not turn off when the switch is pressed.  In any

case, the driver or application must prepare for an impending suspend because

the APM driver is allowed to override the fail request and suspend the system.

This event is issued whenever the time has been updated to correct for timeĆ

warp" that is not due to a suspend.  Applications that perform processing tied to

real time should check the time whenever they see this event, in addition to

checking the time whenever they see any of the resume events.

This event is never broadcast.  NORWINPM.DRV immediately suspends the sysĆ

tem when it receives it and broadcasts a 

 event upon resumĆ

ing.

The system was suspended without sending a notification broadcast in advance.

This event is usually caused by a power failure.  Drivers should typically disable

and reenable themselves when receiving this message.

Because of the efficacy of the suspend mode, NORAND systems do not currently

implement a standby mode.  In addition to 

, the 

and 

 messages are also ignored or are never generated.

Refer to the APM Event Code Broadcast Values paragraph, in Appendix A, SamĆ

ple Configuration Files, for a listing of the event codes and their values.
Generally, Intermec Technologies Corporation attempts to use APM 1.1 stanĆ

dardized event codes whenever appropriate.  However, Intermec Technologies

Corporation may choose to make additional events available on systems with exĆ

tended functionality.  The OEM codes listed in APMCODES.H represent currentĆ

ly defined codes, but does not imply that all or any OEM events are available on

any particular Intermec system.
