Power Settings

These settings will help you to save battery power thus allowing a
longer battery autonomy.
You can set the Gmini 400 to conserve
power for both modes of operation
(when it is powered from the battery, or
when it is connected to the AC charger/
adapter (DC-Power operation).
Parameter
Power Off 1-9 minutes (and Never for DC operation). The number
of minutes of user inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the
Gmini 400 shuts off. During the playback of MP3 and AVI
playing.
Backlight Off 10-90 seconds, Never. The time of user inactivity (no
buttons pressed) before the Gmini 400 turns off the screen to
Hard disk 10-90 seconds, Never. The number of seconds from the
internal hard disk to stop spinning. The longer this time is
set, the more often the hard disk is turning and the quicker
longer, it will quickly consume your battery. Caution: This
setting should only be changed by experienced users.
A typical use of these settings is to set the power off, screen off, and hard
disk to low values when used in battery mode. When the power adapter
is plugged in, you do not need to conserve energy and thus keeping
the Power on and the Backlight on makes using the Gmini 400 more
agreeable. Increasing the hard disk value beyond the default may actually
discharge the battery even when the Charger/adapter is plugged in. Note
also that your unit will run hotter when the backlight and hard disk are on
for long periods of time.
