¶ Power Management of the thin client
The thin client can be powered off or rebooted through many different ways.

Depending on the action a window may be shown requesting to select the type of operation to be executed. After 10 seconds if there is no selection from the user, the device is powered off.
- Suspend: it freezes the status of the thin client in the memory; the next time the power button is pressed the resume of the thin client is really fast (few seconds). Please notice that if you unplug the power cord of a device when it is suspended, then the actual status of the device is lost and the thin client will reboot normally.

Right click on the speaker to open the contextual menu.
Click on Open Mixer to change the volume.

The volume modified using this widget is not saved as a thin client property but it is reset to the default on the next reboot (for more information about how to set a default value for the volume, read Sound Configuration).
