FAQ
Battery
Does Mind's built-in battery allow it to function normally when the power supply is detached?
Mind’s built-in battery capacity is 5.55Wh, which supports standby for about 25 hours when the device sleeps or hibernates. To turn on and use the device, the power adapter needs to be connected. It is not recommended to use the built-in battery as a standalone power supply.
How do I set the system mode that Mind enters after power disconnection? What's the difference between each mode?
There are 4 system modes that Mind can enter upon disconnecting power: Sleep, Hibernate, Turn off the monitor, and Do nothing.
-
Sleep: After disconnecting power, the device will go to sleep. After reconnecting power, the device will reawaken automatically.
-
Hibernate: After disconnecting power, the device will hibernate. After reconnecting power, press the power button to wake up the device.
-
Turn off the display: After disconnecting power, any attached monitors will turn off, and the CPU will run at a reduced speed. After reconnecting to power, the device and any attached monitors will reawaken automatically.
-
Do nothing: After disconnecting power, the device will remain awake, and the CPU will run at a reduced speed. When the battery power drops below 20% (after about 30 minutes), the system automatically hibernates; when the battery power drops below 10%, the device forces a shutdown. Before the device goes to hibernation, when reconnecting power, the device will reawaken automatically.
To set your preferred system mode, there are two methods:
1. Change Windows system settings: From the search bar, go to Control Panel > System and Security > Power Options > Choose what the power button does > Select the mode you want to enter when you press the sleep button from the drop-down menu (On battery and Plug in items) > Save changes.
2. Go to Mind App and change the Device Mode When Unplugged. You can choose from Sleep, Use battery, Hibernate, and Use battery (which matches the Do nothing and Turn off the display options in Windows system settings).
After saving your preferred settings, once power is disconnected, Mind will automatically enter the mode that you had set. Hibernate is the default mode.
When using Mind with the Mind Graphics, there is no need to change this mode. When using Mind on its own or pairing it with Mind Dock, you can go to the Mind App and set the mode to Sleep for a better experience. If you wish to disconnect power for a long time, it is recommended to set the device to sleep or hibernate to prevent data loss.
Button
What can the Mind's power button do?
The Mind's power button has the following 5 functions:
1. In Windows system settings (Control Panel > System and Security > Power Options > Choose what the power buttons do > When I press the sleep button), you can set the system mode you want to enter after pressing the button. There are 5 system modes: sleep, hibernate, shut down, turn off the monitor, or do nothing.
2. When the power button function is set to sleep, shut down, or turn off the monitor, after the device enters the corresponding system mode, press the button to wake it up or turn it on. When set to sleep, the device wakes up automatically after plugging in the power supply.
3. To shut down Mind, press and hold the button for 3 seconds. When the shutdown prompt pop-up box appears, pull down to shut down.
4. To force shutdown, press and hold the power button for 8 seconds.
5. To restore the BIOS default configuration, press and hold the button for 30 seconds until the button light flashes.
