MAIN WINDOW DESCRIPTIONS
SETUP MENU
2. Input Voltage:
Shows the current input
voltage. The input normally appears in green, but
will turn red if the input voltage is lower than 85v
or higher than 150v.
9. Scheduled On:
The Home Cinema Power
Control software can be
scheduled to turn your
connected equipment on.
It can only be set when a
Scheduled Off is also set.
Scheduled On settings
that are set to occur with-
in seven days will be dis-
played.
8. Countdown:
For use with a Home Theater PC. When the program
detects that the utility voltage is below 88 volts or above 147 volts, the
countdown will begin. When the countdown reaches zero, the program will
save and close any open applications, and then shut down the operating
system in an intelligent and orderly manner.
7. Approximate Backup Time:
Indicates the approximate
amount of backup time that is available, based upon the battery
capacity and the load on the system. This indicator can appear in red,
yellow, or green, depending upon the number of minutes available.
6. Scheduled Off:
The program can be set
to automatically shutdown
the system at a user
specified time. Scheduled
Off settings that are set to
occur within seven days
will be displayed. When
combined with the
Scheduled On function,
connected equipment can
automatically be rebooted.
