Chapter 9 - Using Power Management Options

Maximum Power Saving Mode

Standby Mode

NOTE:

Your computer includes power-management options that can help the battery charge last longer and extend the life of the battery, LCD panel, and other components. Power-management options slow down or shut off system components when the components are not being used.

Power management may slow down system performance. Your computer runs fastest with the power cord attached, and when power management is disabled.

In Windows 98 and WIndows 2000 Power management works according to the settings in the Power Management option on the Control Panel with the exception of rest mode.

If your computer shipped from the factory with Windows NT installed, PowerProfiler software was included to support power management.

For maximum power saving mode, the microprocessor may run at slow speed to conserve power. To enable this mode, set the Idle Mode field in System Setup to

Enabled.

The Standby Timeout field in System Setup enables you to specify the time period that the computer can remain idle (no user input or disk activity) before the computer enters standby mode. You can disable this option by selecting Off, or you can specify a Standby Timeout delay time of 1 to 16 minutes.

In standby mode, the system and video memory and the video controller slow down. The LCD backlight, hard drive, floppy drive, PC Card controller, and some other devices turn off to save energy. DPMS (display power-management signaling), a form of monitor power management, to an external monitor is invoked.

To resume from standby, press the Power button or touch the touchpad. Do not press any keys on your keyboard. Windows 98 does not have a standby mode.

In Windows 98 and WIndows 2000, the standby mode works the same as rest mode in system setup. Windows 98/2000 has a standby mode that operates separately from the standby mode in system setup.
