When the device is OFF

If a low battery status occurs while the device is in standby or OFF, SmartKeeper wakes up the system to backup the system status.

To perform the backup process:

1.SmartKeeper checks if a CF memory card is ready in the slot.

2.If found, SmartKeeper backs up the current system status to ASUSBKUP.SAV file in the CF memory card. When the backup process is complete, the system automatically goes back to sleep (OFF).

If a CF memory card is not ready in the slot, the device goes back to sleep without performing the backup process.

When you turn on the device, either one of the following messages is flashed on the screen.
