Things to Remember
Leave your computer off when it is not in use
( "Starting Up/Shutting Down")
Before stepping away from your computer, put your computer
in the standby or hibernation mode
In [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Op-
tions], make settings in detail
By making settings in detail for the timeout, alarm, etc., it is possible to control
the consumption of power.
We recommend setting [Never] since the operating time of the computer is not
extended even when [Turn off monitor] is set.
NOTE
A slight time deviation may occur for the timeout set in [Power Options].
To extend the operating time of the wireless display, enable the wireless
display's timer. For details on how to do this, see the Operating Instructions
of the wireless display.
CAUTION
When installed in a network environment (except when the Wake up from
LAN function is in use).
Do not use the standby or hibernation mode.
After resuming operation from the standby or hibernation mode, the network
connection may be severed or the computer may not work properly.
