ANELS SUPPORT
The keyboard driver must support the Keyboard and Volume & Sounds controls panels. The
Keyboard control panel allows the user to enable/disable key repeating, to set the delay
before the first key repeat and to set the key repeat rate. The Volume & Sounds control
panel allows the user to choose loud, soft or no key clicks when keyboard keys are pressed.

CLIO is designed to be the ultimate in portability. Thus, long battery life is key. CLIO can run
continuously for 12-16 hours between charges of its rechargeable main battery pack and can
run/charge via an AC Adapter. This provides the typical user with several days’ use between
charges.
CLIO has three power modes: active, standby, and hibernate. Active mode is when the unit
is on and the CPU is not idle. Standby mode is when the unit is on but the CPU is idle. This
can occur, for example, between keystrokes while the user is typing in a word processor.
From the user’s frame of reference, there is no difference between active and standby
modes. Hibernate mode is when the unit draws the least amount of power. The screen is off
and, as far as the user is concerned, the unit is off.
1.12.1. AC
An AC Adapter providing 9 volts DC at 1.1 amperes can power CLIO. The AC Adapter
attaches to the side of the CLIO via a standard barrel-style connector. The AC Adapter
provides power to both run the CLIO unit and charge the main and backup batteries. CLIO
supports the use of two separate types of adapters:
U.S. AC Adapter (110V)
