Once the Computer enters standby,
hibernate / sleep or o mode, the
EmberCeptor PC™ will detect this and
begin the standby power down mode.
During this time, the EmberCeptor PC™
will monitor the power consumption to
ensure the computer is no longer being
used. After approximately 60 seconds of
inactivity from the user, the peripheral
appliances connected to the ‘Power
Saver’ socket will be switched o.
NOTE: When using Laptops and
Notebooks: the EmberCeptor PC™
may need additional time to detect
battery charging and condition
status in order to determine
whether peripherals should be on
or o.
NOTE: It is not guaranteed to work
accurately for laptops with old or
damaged batteries.
