Table 7-1 Frequently asked questions about the Wyse X90 and Wyse X90e
Question
My screen seems to time out too quickly.
I have to constantly hit a key or move the
mouse in order to bring it back. How can I
adjust the screen time-out?
What kind of external microphone can I
use with my thin computer?
Because of a software problem, I was
unable to shut down power normally. I
pressed the power button to force a power
off, but it didn't work. How can I force a
power off?
Why can't I charge the battery of my thin
computer after it was out of use for some
time?
Answer
This is part of Windows Power Management. Access Power
Management by clicking on Start | Settings | Control Panel |
Power Management. Adjust the display time-out by selecting
a time next to the Turn off monitor option. You may also
select different time-out values for adapter and battery power
states.
You need to use a self-amplifying microphone.
Make sure you press the power button for at least four (4)
seconds. Normally, this will force a power off. If this does not
work, you can shut down the thin computer by inserting a
needle into the reset button pinhole. (The reset button locates
on the thin computer bottom side.)
After mobile thin computers have not been used for a long
time (more than one month), the batteries will go into the low
voltage protection mode due to data back-ups and natural
electrical discharge. At that point, restoring normal voltage will
require slow charging over a period of several hours.
Calibration can be performed after the battery has returned to
a normal condition.
