16-6 Configuring Power Properties

Use the Power Properties dialog box to configure the power saving mode and auto power off (APO) settings.

Power Saving Mode

Your ClassPad has a “resume” feature that remembers its status when you turn it off, and restores the same status the next time you turn the ClassPad back on. Resume feature operation requires power to operate, which means that some power continues to be consumed even while the ClassPad is turned off. The power saving mode lets you limit how long the resume feature continues to operate (and consume power) after you turn off the ClassPad unit. You can specify 1 hour, 6 hours, or 1 day. After the time limit you specify is reached, the resume feature is deactivated.

The following table describes the power saving mode options that are available.

To do this:

Select this power saving
mode option:

Limit resume operation to 1 hour after power down

1 hour

 

 

Limit resume operation to 6 hours after power down

6 hours

 

 

Limit resume operation to 1 day after power down

1 day

 

 

• The initial default for the above setting is [1 day].

 

Auto Power Off

The Auto Power Off (APO) feature helps conserve battery power by turning off the ClassPad unit automatically whenever you do not perform any operation for specified amount of time. You can specify 1, 3, 6, or 60 minutes for the Auto Power Off trigger time. The initial default APO setting is 6 minutes.
