period can be set or the LCD can be kept on continuously. Possible settings are Always On, I minute, 2
minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. This feature is also valid for an external monitor.
Note:
If you use a mouse in an application, you might want to set the Display Timeout to Always On.

minutes, or 10 minutes.

Although turning off the hard disk when not in use conserves battery life, you can experience a slowing of disk access
time when the computer turns on power to the disk motor before accessing the disk. See the BatteryPro and Productivity
Software Users Manual for Information.
