WinBook Notebook Low Power Measures
When you are running on battery power, your WinBook notebook
tracks battery charge. When battery power gets low, the unit will provide
warnings and eventually take action to help preserve data. Power level
warnings in Windows will be activated according to the settings you have
established. In the default setting, a red “X” will appear over the battery
when approximately 15% of battery power remains. When the battery
level reaches 10%, you will receive a warning to save your work. When
the battery level reaches 3%, the unit will move to the Hibernate mode.
When the WinBook notebook estimates that there are about 10-15
minutes of power remaining (the actual time will vary with usage),
the unit will start to give periodic beeps to remind you to save your
work. When approximately 5-10 minutes of battery power remain,
the beeps will accelerate.
Note: You can silence the beeps by hitting the [Fn]+[End] hot-key
combination.
When you receive the low power warnings, you should shut down your
system, hibernate your system or connect to a power source. If you respond
immediately after receiving the warnings, you should have sufficient power
to shut down completely, including saving large files. Do not attempt
to restart your system until you have connected to the AC adapter or
changed or charged your battery.
Windows allows you to activate the Hibernate function in Power
Management. If you do so, when the system reaches a critical power
level, it will enter a Standby or Hibernate mode (depending on your
settings). Enabling this function will permit you to preserve data in
RAM from being lost when the battery is about to use the last of its
