Mudita Pure "Offline" Mode

[kirkmahoneyphd]

Is the Mudita Pure “Offline” mode the same as powered off?

If not, then:

• What are the differences between “Offline” mode and powered off?
• How will owners shut down the Pure (other than removing the battery)?

This was already discussed a bit:

@urszula

In Mudita Pure you will have a physical switch that will allow you quickly change modes from Online, to Do Not Disturb or Offline.
If I may quickly describe these modes:

• Online Mode : Mudita Pure is fully functional in this mode, you can stay in touch with others and let them message or call you.
• Do Not Disturb :
  • No Distractions: Switch off all the notifications.
  • Whitelist: Allow only your favorite contacts to reach you.
  • Message Only: In this simple yet innovative mode, your phone will only log into the network during given periods of time (every 30 minutes by default) to send and download text messages. It will not accept any incoming calls. This mode was designed for those times when you want to stay connected but with limited distractions (during creative work, meetings, etc.). Following the rules of time management experts, we wanted to provide a setting that lets you consciously choose the best moment for a phone call instead of answering every request. Also, it won’t transmit the whole time - only every 30 minutes (or depending on how you set it up).
• Offline Mode : For those times when you really want to focus, take a break, or fly (i.e. airplane mode), the final position puts the phone in a fully offline mode. We created this mode so that you can make the most of your uninterrupted focus and to minimize radiation.

the final position puts the phone in a fully offline mode. We created this mode so that you can make the most of your uninterrupted focus and to minimize radiation.

I apologize, but that does not answer my question. The phrase “to minimize radiation” does not imply to me that the Mudita Pure is off. Instead, it implies to me that the Mudita Pure is still “radiating” while on.

So, let me ask my question in another way: Does sliding the side switch to “Offline” mode turn OFF the Mudita Pure?

A computer that is “offline” is not necessarily off.

I am asking whether Mudita uses “Offline” to mean OFF.

Switch doesn’t turn off the device in the video. This mode is like turning off all network signals, similar to airplane mode.

^ @urszula: Given what mindful321 wrote, how will we turn off the Mudita Pure?

[jameshjacksonjr]

I think he means is there a power button like ud see on a iphone. Or Samsung etc etc phone

[Wojciech_Cichon]

There is a power button which is also the right selection button - you press it for a longer period of time (2-3s) and it turns the phone on and off.

• What are the differences between “Offline” mode and powered off?

Hi @kirkmahoneyphd, I’m not sure your question was answered so to sum things up:

1. Offline - means that the GSM module is not connected to the network. You enable it via slider.
2. Power off - the whole device is turned off (all modules). You power Pure off by long-press on the right function button.

Let us know if you have any more questions!

Cheers!

@kirkmahoneyphd & @jameshjacksonjr, just like the guys mentioned, there’s a dedicated OFF BUTTON. However, there’s also an option in the offline mode configuration to set an interval after which the phone connects to the GSM network in order to download all the SMS messages. It is called “connection frequency.” .
