Using Power Management

Power Management in the NEC Versa 2600 lets you conserve energy, save battery power,
extend the life of your LCD backlight, and protect against data loss due to low battery
power.
You can set some features to function automatically or activate them manually with the
keyboard or a button.

Power Saving Modes

The NEC Versa 2600 has three different power consumption states. These include:
T
Active Mode — All components are turned on and active.
T
Standby Mode — Eliminates unnecessary battery or AC power consumption.
The LCD panel, Hard Disk Drive and CD-ROM reader all shut down, and the
Keyboard Controller and CPU slow down, providing both privacy and power
savings.
To end Standby mode, press any key and return to Active mode.
T
Suspend Mode — Shuts down every system component, except those that
preserve unsaved data in memory, or system status and PCMCIA cards if so
configured.
NOTE
Even in Active Mode, you can specify
timeouts for the LCD panel, hard disk drive and
CPU. See "Power Management Settings."
