specified period of inactivity (called a timeout). Windows Power
Properties provides additional power saving features.
Computer Setup Power Management
The default Computer Setup power management setting provides a
balance between performance and battery life. If you want to select
a different setting, run Computer Setup, select the Power menu,
then select Power Management.
The following power conservation levels are available while on
battery (default) or while on AC or battery:
■ High Conservation Level—Provides the maximum power
conservation and the most battery life from a single charge.
■ Medium Conservation Level (default)—Provides a balance
between performance and battery life. Suspend is initiated after
ten minutes of inactivity and Hibernation after one hour of
inactivity.
■ Custom—Allows you to specify the timeout settings for
Suspend, Hibernation, hard drives, and screen.
