QPower

QPower is an advanced system power management tool specifically designed for 
your Joybook. In addition to the standard power management functions provided 
by the Windows system, QPower incorporates several features which allow you to 
precisely and meanwhile easily adjust system power settings. The features include:

• 

Flexible and comprehensive power setting options for maximizing system per-
formance or minimizing power consumption 

• 

Preset power profiles for easy selection and application 

• 

Program-associable power profile design allows you to associate different appli-
cation programs with different power profiles. The specific power profile is 
automatically applied when you open the corresponding application program. 

Launching QPower

By default, QPower is automatically launched after you turn on your Joybook (the 

 icon appears on the Windows System Tray located at the lower right part of 

the Desktop). Should you need to launch QPower after you close it, follow the 
steps below:

1. Click the Start button on Windows Taskbar and select All Programs, QPower, 

QPower.

2. The 

 icon will appear on the Windows System Tray indicating that QPower 

has been successfully launched. 

Checking Battery Level

You can check the battery level of your system following the steps below:

1. Right-click on the QPower profile icon 

 on the Windows System Tray.

2. A menu containing several options and a power level indicator will appear. The 

power level indicator shows the percentage of the remaining power.

Selecting a Power Profile

To select a power profile:

1. Right-click on the QPower profile icon 

 on the Windows System Tray.

2. A submenu that contains several power profiles will follow. Click to select a 

desired power profile.

3. When a power profile is selected, the settings will be applied instantly. Mean-

while, a message box indicating the power profile selected will also appear on 
the screen.

• When Automatic Switch is checked, 7 power profiles can be applied.
• When a different power profile is selected, the power profile icon on the System

Tray will also be changed accordingly. 

• When you place the mouse cursor over the profile icon, a tip balloon containing

the description of the power profile will appear.

You can also use the function key combination (Fn + F10) to cycle among the 3
basic power profiles: Max. Performance, Normal and Max. Battery Life.

Setting up a Power Profile

In addition to using the preset power profiles as they are, you can also change the 
settings of these profiles according to your preference.

To customize a power profile:

1. Right-click on the QPower profile icon 

 on the Windows System Tray.

2. Select Configuration... from the menu that appears.
