Auto Green

Auto Green is an easy-to-use tool that provides users with simple options to enable system power
savings via a Bluetooth cell phone. When the phone is out of the range of the computer's Bluetooth
receiver, the system will enter the specified power saving mode.
• Device Scan Time (sec.):
Set the length of time Auto Green scans your Bluetooth cell phone key, ranging from 5 to 30 seconds in 5-second increment.
Auto Green searches for the key based on the length of time you set.
• Rescan Times:
Set how many times Auto Green will rescan your Bluetooth cell phone key if it does not detect it, ranging from 2 to 5 times. Auto
Green will keep rescanning according to the times you set. When the times limit is reached and your Bluetooth cell phone key
is still not detected, the system will enter the selected energy saving mode.
• Turn off HD:
Set when to turn off the hard drive. If the system inactivity time exceeds the specified time limit, the hard drive will be turned off.
(Note 1) If your cell phone has been configured as the Auto Green key, you'll not be able to use it to connect to other
Bluetooth device(s) when Auto Green is enabled.
(Note 2) Whether the Bluetooth dongle is included depends on the motherboard models. Before installing the Bluetooth
dongle, be sure to turn off other Bluetooth receiver on your computer.
The Configuration dialog box:
First, you have to set your Bluetooth cell phone as a portable key. On the Auto Green
main menu, click Configure and then click Configure BT devices. Select the Bluetooth
cell phone that you want to use as the portable key
your Bluetooth cell phone, click Refresh to let Auto Green re-detect the device.)
Before creating a Bluetooth cell phone key, make sure your motherboard has a
Bluetooth receiver and you have turned on the search and Bluetooth functions on
your phone.
Configuring the Bluetooth cell phone key:
After you select a cell phone, the Add Bluetooth Device Wizard as shown on the
left will appear. Enter a passkey (8~16 digits recommended) which will be used for
pairing with the cell phone. Then enter the same passkey on your cell phone.
Configuring other Bluetooth settings:
On the Other Settings tab, you can set how much time it takes to scan your
Bluetooth cell phone key, how many times to rescan the key to make sure it is in
range of your computer, and when to turn off the hard drive if the system energy
saving state lasts over the predetermined period of time. After completing the settings,
click Set for the settings to take effect and then click Exit to quit.
Selecting a system energy saving mode:
Depending on your needs, select a system power saving mode on the Auto Green
main menu and click Save to save the settings.
