Using the AC Energy Saver
You can turn on or off the Energy Saver feature through the AC
Energy Saver tab in Power Properties. The Energy Saver feature is
supported in MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, and Windows 95 operating
systems.
The energy saver feature is network compatible when used in
conjunction with the Compaq Convenience Base with Ethernet
model, meaning that you will not be logged off the network when
the Energy Saver features are enabled. The Energy Saver feature is
network compatible when using network PC Cards, when the PC
Card power setting is set to the "on" position.
The Energy Saver feature when used in conjunction with an external
Energy Star compliant monitor will support the power down
features of the monitor. Enabling the Energy Save Monitor feature
allows the external monitor to go into low-power mode when the
screen Save timeout occurs.
To take advantage of this energy savings, the external monitor
feature has been preset to power down after 10 minutes. This setting
can be modified or disabled by accessing the AC Energy Saver tab
in Power Properties.
The AC Energy Saver feature allows the hard disk idle and screen
save timeouts to initiate after a period of computer inactivity while
the computer is connected to AC power. Enabling this feature saves
money on your electric bill.
CAUTION: Using the Energy Save Monitor feature with non-Energy Star
compliant monitors may cause video distortion when the Screen Save
timeout occurs.
