Enabling Power Savings
The Enable Power Savings feature in Power Management
controls all power management features. When set to disabled,
the power menu is automatically disabled. The default setting is
enabled.
Timeout Settings
You can set up timeout functions to power down computer
components by selecting the Power Schemes tab from the power
application in the operating system’s Control Panel. When a
component such as the monitor, hard drive, system, or video is
not in use, the component powers down to conserve power. The
time out interval can be set from one minute up to several hours.
The component will power up again when you access it or press
any key.
Setting Standby
Standby is initiated by pressing the Fn+F4 hotkeys or
automatically by the computer if it reaches your defined
percentage of battery pack power remaining. When Standby is
initiated, several subsystems will power off to conserve energy.
The system will wake up from Standby when the power button is
pressed.
Although the Standby mode maintains your information and
opens your file upon wake-up, you will lose any unsaved
information if you turn off the computer before ending Standby.
