The Clarius Scanner HD/HD3 can take up to 30 seconds to power up and prepare for imaging. If
you turn on the Clarius Scanner and leave it untouched, it will go through the following
modes to help reduce battery power and temperature:
1. After three seconds, it decreases the frame rate.
2. After 30 seconds of decreased frame rate, it freezes.
3. After 10 seconds in freeze mode, it goes idle.
4. After 15 minutes of idle time, it shuts down.
A typical use of the Clarius Scanner HD3 is described as five continuous scanning minutes
followed by 10 minutes in standby mode (or turned off). When scanning for more than 15 consecutive minutes, with any Clarius Scanner HD/HD3, the fan must be used.
