VERVIEW
CLIO includes the cover closed and tablet switches to enhance the user’s experience when
using the CLIO. These magnetic switches are not activated by the user, but automatically
activated when opening/closing the unit and manipulating the hinge.
These switches allow the CLIO’s software to take appropriate actions based on the
state/position of the CLIO’s LCD screen. These actions might include automatically powering
on or off the unit when the cover is opened or closed, automatically “popping-up” a virtual
keyboard, or handwriting recognition window when the CLIO is put into Tablet mode.
1.15.2.2. C
OVER CLOSED SWITCH
The cover-closed switch indicates whether the portion of the case containing the LCD panel
(referred to here as the cover or lid) is in a closed or open position. Due to the CLIO’s unique
hinge design, the lid can be closed such that the face of the LCD is against the keyboard as
in a traditional laptop computer or flipped over so the LCD panel is exposed on the outside of
the case (Tablet mode). The Cover Closed Switch indicates when the LCD panel is parallel
to the bottom of the case with the LCD screen facing the keyboard.
1.15.2.3. T
ABLET SWITCH
The tablet switch indicates when the LCD is facing up (i.e. facing the outside of the case).
