POWER SAVE FEATURES
Q29. Are there any special power saving features to help prolong battery life?
A29. Yes. One way to help prolong battery life is to select the "Advanced Chipset Setup"
in the SETUP program and enable the Power Management Function and the other
is to manually put the computer is "Suspend Mode".
The Power Management Utility in SETUP turns off the LCD and hard drive to reduce
battery drain
when the system is inactive and running off the rechargable battery pack. The three
devices you can
select for the time of inactivity timeout are 1) the Display Timeout Counter 2) Hard
Disk Timeout
Counter 3) System Timeout Counter. This is in addition to the "display timeout
option" discussed
previously with VGACONF.exe.
Q30. How do you manually put the AN-4SLC/33 in "suspend mode"?
A30. This can be accomplished by sliding the "Suspend/Resume" button to the right or by
closing the
AN-4SLC/33 LCD.
Q31. How do you "resume" the AN-4SLC/33?
A31. A keystroke should "wake-up" the AN-4SLC/33. Preferably, the spacebar should be
used.
Q32. What if the computer has entered the Standby timeout mode and a keystroke
doesn't bring it back to
normal operating mode?
A32: There are some applications that may intercept any keystrokes before they can be
seen by the
system BIOS. You may have to disable the timeout in SETUP ( or VGACONF.EXE )
to use the
problem application on battery power.
