II. LABQUEST HARDWARE 
 
Once LabQuest 2 is connected to AC power or the battery has been charged, press the power 
button located on the top of the unit, near the left edge. LabQuest will complete its booting 
procedure and then launch the LabQuest App by default, as shown above. If the screen does not 
light after a moment, connect the power adapter to LabQuest and to an AC power source and try 
the button again. 
 
Power Button 
 
Power on 
– If the screen is off for any reason (LabQuest is off, asleep, or the screen has 
turned off to conserve battery power) pressing and releasing the power button once will 
turn LabQuest back on. If LabQuest was off, LabQuest will also complete its booting 
procedure which takes about a minute and then display LabQuest App.  
 
 
Sleep/wake 
– When LabQuest is on, pressing and releasing the power button once will 
put LabQuest into a sleep mode. Note that the sleep mode does not start until you release 
the power button. In this mode, LabQuest uses less power but the battery can still drain. 
This mode is useful if you are going to return to data collection again soon, in which case 
waking LabQuest from sleep is quicker than a cold boot. To wake LabQuest from sleep, 
simply press and release the power button. 
 
 
Shut down 
– To shut down LabQuest, hold the power button down for about five 
seconds. You will then see a message indicating that LabQuest is shutting down. Release 
the power button, and allow LabQuest to shutdown. To cancel the shutdown procedure at 
this point, simply tap Cancel. You can also shutdown LabQuest by tapping Home  , 
tapping the System folder, then tapping Shut Down  . 
 
 
Emergency Shutdown 
– If you hold the power button down for about eight seconds, the 
unit will power off uncleanly. This is the same as pulling the battery out of the unit while 
it is running. This is not recommended unless LabQuest is frozen, as you may lose your 
data and potentially cause file system corruption.
