Using the Power tab
The Power tab lets you customize how and when your P/PC suspends operation to help maximize battery life:
•Touch screen to power on—Select this option to allow your P/PC to awake from suspend mode when you tap the screen or hard icon panel.
The Touch screen to power on option is checked by default. When you uncheck this option, you are no longer able to use the hard icon panel to power on the P/PC.
•Suspend while on battery power—To conserve battery power, your P/PC automatically suspends operation after a period of continuous idle time while running on battery power. Select the amount of idle time from the dropdown list.
•Enable suspend while on AC power—Select this option to automatically suspend operation after a period of continuous idle time while running on AC power. Select the amount of idle time from the dropdown list.
