2-34 Setup and Operation
Using Setup to Set Power Management
Setup allows you to use the factory-defined power savings level (Longest Life), or choose
between High Perform, Custom, or Off. Each provides a special value to your current work
effort. These power management levels were designed with you in mind. For example, you
can use them under the following circumstances:
T
Longest Life — Provides best battery life and good performance. Use while trav-
eling long distances.
T
High Perform — Provides best performance and good battery life. Use while on
the road, traveling short distances.
T
Custom — Lets you decide! Set power management levels according to your own
needs and present environment.
T
Off — Works well in an office environment while powering your NEC Versa with
AC power.
Using the Save to File (STF) Feature
STF protects the integrity of your working files. For example, if you are called away from
your NEC Versa and Suspend mode is selected with auto Save to File active, your system
automatically goes into Suspend mode. After 30 minutes, if you don't return, your working
environment is saved to a special file on your hard disk.
There are two ways to set your NEC Versa's STF feature. One method is via the Setup
utility. Select Power Management from the Setup Main Menu. Move the cursor down and
highlight Suspend Mode. Press the
Setup.
The second method is to press the
