NOTE:
If you have your Internet PC connected to a network or have an “ALWAYS ON”
DSL modem, you should set the power scheme to
Always On
. This will prevent the
Internet PC from going into Sleep mode and breaking the network or DSL connection.
Your Internet PC power scheme is set to Home/Office Desk. Once the specified
amount of time has elapsed, the device enters Sleep mode. Components in Sleep
mode rapidly return to a fully active state once activity is detected.
