Enabling Power Savings

The Enable Power Savings feature in Power Management controls all power management features. When set to disabled, the power menu is automatically disabled. The default setting is enabled.

Timeout Settings

You can set up timeout functions to power down computer components by selecting the Power Schemes tab from the power application in the operating system’s Control Panel. When a component such as the monitor, hard drive, system, or video is not in use, the component powers down to conserve power. The time out interval can be set from one minute up to several hours. The component will power up again when you access it or press any key.

Setting Standby

Standby is initiated by pressing the Fn+F4 hotkeys or automatically by the computer if it reaches your defined percentage of battery pack power remaining. When Standby is initiated, several subsystems will power off to conserve energy. The system will wake up from Standby when the power button is pressed.

Although the Standby mode maintains your information and opens your file upon wake-up, you will lose any unsaved information if you turn off the computer before ending Standby.
