The High conservation level provides the maximum amount of power conservation and the maximum battery operating time from a single charge. The Custom conservation level conserves power according to timeout settings that you specify. Refer to Chapter 10, "Running Computer Setup", for information oon power management, Suspend, and Hibernation.

A timeout is a period of inactivity, after which power is turned off to the system or component. When the conservation level is set to Medium or High, timeouts are grayed out and cannot be changed. If you change the conservation level to Custom, be sure to also review the timeout settings.

If you disable or turn off Power Management or disable Hibernation, information in memory will not be automatically saved during a critical low-battery condition.

CAUTION: If you turn off or disable power management or disable Hibernation, you must take immediate action to save your work and resolve a low-battery condition.

If you disable the low-battery warning beeps, a low-battery condition will be indicated only by a blinking battery light (and a Windows warning message if enabled).

If you have an external energy saving monitor, you can enable the Energy Saving Monitor option on the Power Menu or enable the Energy Star compliant options in Windows Display Properties. These options allow the external monitor to enter low-power mode when the screen timeout occurs. If you enable these options and the external monitor is not an energy saving monitor, the screen display may become distorted when the timeout occurs.
