This will either be during the same day, or on the next day if the time you set has already passed
on the day you set the alarm.
For example, if at the end of the day you want to set your computer to wake up at 8AM the next
morning, you would enable "Alarm Resume" and then set the Alarm Time to 08:00. As you can
see, you can also use this feature with the AC adapter connected.
To set the time, select either the hour or minute field and use the plus or minus keys to scroll to
the setting you want.
Be A Conservationist
At your end, there are many things you can do to extend the usable period of one battery charge.
First of all, try to use AC power whenever possible. It may be tempting not to bother, but a little
extra effort will leave you with a full battery when you really need it. Otherwise, you should use
the power management software. Set it up to match your work habits and preferences. If your
habits and preferences don't contribute to conserving power, you can consider adopting habits
that do.

For example, many people use a 'screen saver' nowadays. These are fine for a desktop computer
(where they are intended to prevent wear on the desktop monitor) or for when you are using the
AC adapter to power the computer, but a screen saver still requires that the LCD screen operate
at full power. A better solution for battery operation is to use the setting that turns the LCD off
when you don't use the computer for more than two minutes - or whatever length of time you set.
You should also try to minimize the amount you use the floppy disk drive. It consumes a lot of
power, and generally speaking, you can probably wait until you have access to AC power before
using it.
Care & Handling
Obviously, one of the main points of having a notebook computer is so you can easily carry it
around with you. But because it is so easy and convenient to transport, it's easy to forget that any
computer is a somewhat delicate piece of electronic equipment and requires some care handling
and usage.
Cautionary Notes
Rough Handling
While your WinBook computer is sturdily constructed, it wasn't designed to travel around by
itself. WinBook offers a range of carrying case options for your computer. It is a good idea to
always transport your WinBook in a case. If you don't use one of WinBook's cases, make sure to
put the computer in a safe transport container - which might or might not be your briefcase,
depending on its design and contents. If you like a bigger case with more storage space,
WinBook offers cases that cover a full range of designs and features.
