There are a number of different switches and status indicator lights located in various locations on the WinBook TL30 notebook. This article will describe these functions and their various settings.

Switches

Wireless Switch

Wireless Models Only: Toggles the internal wireless LAN and Bluetooth ON or OFF with an on-screen-display. When enabled and connected, the corresponding wireless indicator will light. Windows software settings are necessary to use the wireless LAN or Bluetooth.

Power4 Gear+ Key

The Power4 Gear+ button toggles power savings between various power saving modes. The power saving modes control many aspects of the Notebook PC to maximize performance versus battery time. When you are using an AC power adapter, Power4 Gear+ will switch between three modes in the AC power mode segment. When you remove the AC adapter, Power4 Gear+ will switch between seven modes in the battery (DC) mode segment. When you remove or apply the AC adapter, Power4 Gear+ will automatically shift you up or down into the proper mode segment (AC or DC).

Power Switch

The power switch allows powering ON and OFF the Notebook PC and recovering from Suspend-to-Disk (Hibernation) mode. Use the switch once to turn ON and once to turn OFF the Notebook PC. In Windows, this button can be configured to safely turn OFF the Notebook PC. The power switch only works when the display panel is opened.

Status Indicators

	Power Indicator: The power indicator lights when the Notebook PC is turned ON and blinks slowly when the Notebook PC is in the Suspend-to-RAM (Standby) mode. This indicator is OFF when the Notebook PC is turned OFF or in the Suspend-to-Disk (Hibernation) mode.
	Battery Charge Indicator: The battery charge indicator is an LED that shows the status of the battery’s power as follows: ON: The Notebook PC’s battery is charging when AC power is connected. OFF: The Notebook PC’s battery is charged or completely drained. Blinking: Battery power is less than 10% and the AC power is not connected.
	Drive Activity Indicator: Indicates that the Notebook PC is accessing one or more storage device(s) such as the hard disk. The light flashes proportional to the access time.
	Wireless LAN Indicator: This is only applicable on models with internal wireless LAN. When the internal wireless LAN is enabled, this indicator will light. (Windows software settings are necessary to use the wireless LAN.)
	Capital Lock Indicator: Indicates that capital lock [Caps Lock] is activated when lighted. Capital lock allows some of the keyboard letters to type using capitalized letters (e.g. A, B, C). When the capital lock light is OFF, the typed letters will be in the lower case form (e.g. a,b,c).
	Bluetooth Indicator: This is only applicable on models with internal Bluetooth. This indicator will light to show that the Notebook PC’s built-in Bluetooth function is activated.
