Battery information
This section is applicable to the Wyse 5470 Thin Client.
The battery indicator is displayed on the system tray in the classic mode. The battery indicator is displayed on the zero toolbar in
the zero mode.
The following table contains the battery indicators:
Table 5. Battery indicators
Battery status Icon
While charging with the AC adapter
Battery 90% - 100% without connecting the AC
adapter
Battery 50% - 89% without connecting the AC
adapter
Battery 25% - 49% without connecting the AC
adapter
Battery 9% - 24% without connecting the AC
adapter
Battery 0% - 8% without connecting the AC
adapter
● When the battery is lower than 12%, a notification is displayed at the right-bottom with the remaining percentage.
● Plugging in the AC adapter to charge the device increases brightness by 10% and disconnecting the AC adapter decreases
brightness by 10%.
NOTE:
If you adjust the brightness after disconnecting the AC adapter, the brightness does not change after the
adapter is plugged in. In this case, the current brightness replaces the default value.
● After you plug in or plug out the AC adapter, it takes approximately 5 seconds for the battery icon to be updated.
● By default, the critical battery level is 5%. When the battery reaches the critical level, ThinOS is turned off automatically.
You must plug in the AC power to power on the thin client. You can use the INI parameter to change the auto power off
settings. For more information about the INI parameters, see the Dell Wyse ThinOS INI Reference Guide at www.dell.com/
support.
Sleep mode
The sleep mode enables the power-saving state and quickly resumes full power operations without loss of data.
The sleep mode feature is supported on the following platforms:
● Wyse 5040 AIO client with ThinOS (5212)
● Wyse 5040 AIO client with PCoIP (5213)
● Wyse 5070 Thin Client with ThinOS

● Wyse 5470 Thin Client with ThinOS
● Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin Client PCoIP
● Wyse 5470 All-in-One Thin Client with ThinOS
The USB interface is closed in sleep mode. All USB devices such as USB drives, Bluetooth, audio devices, video devices, and
camera are reinitialized after resuming from sleep mode.
The wired network, wireless network, and VPN are disconnected in sleep mode. However, the network configurations are saved.
All the ThinOS configurations—file server, INI, VDI configuration, network configuration, and so on—are saved automatically in
sleep mode. The INI parameters are not reloaded from the file server after resuming from sleep mode.
The following windows are not closed in sleep mode:
