Using the Power Management Features
Your ActionNote offers a variety of automatic and manual
power management features to help you conserve battery
power. These features turn off various system
components—such as the CPU, the hard disk, and the LCD
screen-when they are not being used.
There are three power-saving modes that your computer can
enter: Idle, Standby, and Suspend. Each of the three modes
provides progressively increased power conservation and
affects the functioning of progressively more components in
your computer. You can also set individual timeouts for the
hard disk drive and video components. In addition, the LCD
backlight turns off automatically when you close the cover.
Note
You can use all of the computer’s power management
features in conjunction with the Intel
®
/ Microsoft Advanced
Power Management (APM) interface, version 1.0 or higher.
This interface is provided with Windows and may be
provided with other software on your system. See page 3-10
for more information about how APM works along with
your computer’s power management features.
