What is ship function?

The ship function is a function to prevent the remaining battery power from decreasing during long-term storage after the shipment of product. The ship function is sometimes called shipping mode, etc.

The electronic devices that have no ship function are shipped while consuming current from the battery even after the shipment. In this status, the battery power decreases during long-term storage after the shipment.
When the product is delivered to an end user, the product may not operate because the battery power is low or it may not work for target battery life.

The ship function that suppresses current consumption from battery after the shipment is required to prevent these problems.
