Chapter 3 - Battery and Power Management
Power Savings Settings
These four options let you tailor the Timeouts for your system components. Low Power Savings gives you maximum performance but shortest battery life; Medium Power Saveings gives you moderate performance and moderate battery life; High Power Savings gives you minimum performance but longest battery life, and Custom Power Settings lets you manually specify Timeouts for your CPU, video, hard disk drive, and Global system components. Custom Power Settings also includes a Monitor Video Activity feature that resets the Timeout timer whenever something moves onscreen, like a mouse pointer.
Suspend Controls
These allow you to set automatic Suspend and automatic Resume commands.
Suspend Timeout specifies a Global Suspend mode (all components turned off except memory) after a specific time.
Low Battery Suspend tells Meridian to automatically enter Global Suspend after a Low Battery warning.
Modem Ring Resume awakens your system after a modem ring is detected.
Set Resume Alarm awakens your system at the time of day you designate.
