What is QuickSwitch Power?
QuickSwitch Power is an advanced internal power supply unit with a backup battery inside PIC system Gravity. It allows the system to be unplugged from AC power without turning it off for up to 2 hours.
How does QuickSwitch Power work?
- QuickSwitch Power (QSP) automatically recharges its backup battery whenever the system is plugged to AC power.
- QSP immediately activates the backup battery when the system has been unplugged from AC power to keep the system powered on with no interruptions.
Sound notification (beeping)
After PIC system Gravity has been unplugged and QSP is activated, a beep will sound every few seconds until it's plugged back in.
Beeping can be slow or fast:
- Slow beeping: QuickSwitch Power's battery is active with sufficient charge for normal performance.
- Fast beeping: QuickSwitch Power's battery is critically low. QSP will safely shut down the system at any moment to avoid sudden power loss.
QSP's sound notification will beep even if the system has been unplugged while turned off.
It is recommended to keep your PIC system Gravity always plugged in, even when it's turned off or unused, to keep QSP's battery recharged.
Time limitation on QuickSwitch Power battery use: up to 2 hours
When QSP's battery is activated and fully recharged, PIC system Gravity will continue to run on battery power for up to 2 hours after it has been unplugged. Afterward, QuickSwitch Power will perform a safe shutdown.
If QSP's battery is critically low (indicated by faster beeping) it may shut down the system at any moment, even before 2 hours after unplugging.
If your PIC system Gravity was shut down automatically by QuickSwitch Power while unplugged, make sure to connect it to AC power before turning it on the next time.
