IDLE MODE

Idle mode is one of the power management parameters.
When Idle mode is enabled, the CPU is put into low-
speed operation when there is no activity (keystroke,
pointer action, sound generation, video display change,
modem transmission or reception, etc.) on your note-
book for 16 seconds. Any activity will cause the normal
operation to restart automatically. This feature is inde-
pendent of the Suspend/Resume modes.

STANDBY MODE

Standby mode is one of the power management parame-
ters. When Standby mode is activated, your notebook
puts the CPU in low-speed operation, shuts off the
display and turns off the hard drive when there is no
activity (keystroke, pointer action, sound generation,
video display change, modem transmission or reception,
etc.) on your notebook for the user selected time-out
period. Any activity will cause your notebook to return
to normal operation automatically. This feature is inde-
pendent of the Suspend/Resume button.

DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The Video Timeout is one of the power management
parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer
activity will cause the display to restart automatically.
This feature is independent of the Suspend/Resume
button and can be enabled and disabled in Windows and
BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS Setup Utility on page 35 for
more information)

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power
management parameters. This feature saves power by
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart
automatically. This feature is independent of the
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows and BIOS setup utility. (See BIOS
Setup Utility on page 35 for more information)

WINDOWS 98 POWER MANAGEMENT

The Power Management icon located in the Windows 98
Control Panel allows you to configure some of the power
management settings. For example, you can use the
Power Management to set the timeout values for turning
off the display and hard disks whether you are running
the notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.
(See Pre-Installed Software on page 30 for more informa-
tion) The settings may also be changed in the BIOS. (See
BIOS Setup Utility on pag e35 for more information)
