Changing the Automatic Power Settings

The WPA1200 will enter idle mode when there is no task, or all tasks are waiting for input.

2.Tap the Switch state to User Idle, Switch state to System Idle or Switch state to Suspend option to select from a list of time periods. The available time periods are 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes and never.

This function can also be activated when the WPA1200 is plugged into the power adapter or placed in its docking station by tapping Power Scheme AC Power and then tapping the arrow to select from a list of time periods. The available time periods are 1, 2, 5,10, 15, 30 minutes and never.
