You can call up the Power Management screen in two ways. In DOS sessions, you can run
System Setup by holding down the 'CTRL and'ALT' keys and typing an'S'. This brings up Page
1, Standard Setup. Then press the 'PgDn' key to switch from Page 1 to Page 2, Power
Management Setup. You can also type 'enter system setup' before Windows loads when the
system is booting or from the 'F8' Windows boot option screen.
You can access the Power Management Setup screen (only) at any time under DOS or Windows.
When you use the "Setup" 'Fn' + 'F8' command, the Power Management Setup screen will
appear. You can use this com	mand to tailor your power management settings on-the-fly
without having to leave Windows or re-boot the computer. 	When you're finished, you can
exit Power Management Setup and return to where you left off by pressing the 'Esc' and then the
'F4' key. In this situation, the system will Resume, rather than reboot, as it would if you
	were running a System Setup session.
There are sixteen items in the Power Management screen. We'll explain them here in order, then
talk about how to configure the options to produce either more power savings or faster
performance. For average users, the WinBook default power management settings should
provide a good trade-off between snappy performance and long battery life.
The power management scheme allows you to configure each feature independently. You can set
the interval of time after which a feature will activate for many of the items. The following chart
lists the items on the Power Management screen. We've shown a chart here rather than the
screen, because the chart allows us to show you all the options for each field, rather than just
one. There are instructions at the bottom of the Setup screen explaining how to navigate within
the program.
[XP5 2-6]
Power Management
This line is the master switch for all the power management features. You have to enable power
management here for any of the features to work. There are three options for this feature.
"Always" enables power management while you're using either battery or AC power. "Battery
only" means power management will only be active if you're running the computer on battery
power. The third option is to disable power management.
If you enable power management, you can load default settings for all items by pressing the 'Esc'
and then the 'F5' key.
Note: If you accessed Power Management Setup only, by using the 'Fn' + 'F8' key command,
when you press 'F5', it will load only the defaults for Power Management. If, however, you
accessed the entire Setup program using the 'CTRL' + 'ALT' + 'S' command, then 'F5' will load
the system defaults for all the Setup program pages.
