Using power schemes

Power schemes are a collection of settings that manages the power usage of your computer. You can select from a number of power schemes that are available in Power Options in the Control Panel, you can adjust individual settings of any available power scheme, or you can create your own power schemes to suit your particular system and preferences.

Standby

Standby is a low-power state in which your LCD and CPU turn off. When you want to use the computer again, it comes out of standby quickly and your desktop is restored exactly as you left it. Use standby to save power when you will be away from the computer for a short time while working.

Hibernation

Hibernation is a state in which your computer shuts down to save power but first saves everything in memory on your hard disk. When you restart the computer, your desktop is restored exactly as you left it. Use hibernation to save power when you will be away from the computer for an extended time.

Adjusting Screen Brightness and Backlight Settings

The Hammerhead RT comes with a Utility program that provides additional functionality to your computer. To launch the Hammerhead Utilities program, click on the icon found in the quick launch bar.

If the icon is not found, you can launch the program by clicking on

START, ALL PROGRAMS HH UTILITIES.

Adjusting screen brightness

The brightness of your Tablet PC screen is often the number one consumer of power, so you can conserve battery power by turning down the screen brightness on your Hammerhead RT. For optimal battery function we recommend that your computer is set for “Auto Off” in bright light, “Auto Dim” in low light and the advanced backlight settings are loaded with default settings. This configuration is designed to give you an optimal balance between performance and battery life. For computers with Transmissive (indoor viewable) displays, it is highly recommended that you do not use the “Auto Off” backlight settings.

Manual brightness adjustment

The brightness slider control allows you to manually adjust the backlight brightness. Click on the bar and slide it to the left or right to achieve the desired brightness. When using the All-Vis LCD, WalkAbout recommends not to select any of the Auto Back Light Settings and to slide the Brightness slider all the way to the right.
