BIOS Setup 3-13
Power Savings Menu Options 3
Options for the Power Savings menu are described in Table 3-9. Default settings for most options in this
menu differ depending on the setting selected for the Power Savings BIOS option. (Refer to Chapter 6 of
this manual for more information on power management.)
Windows 98 can be configured to use ACPI. (ACPI is not enabled as a factory setting.) Systems with
ACPI enabled will not use power management settings configured in BIOS Setup. To configure power
management settings in Windows 98, open Power Management in Control Panel and select the desired
settings in the Power Management Properties window.
Caution
Power savings options should be set to the most conservative
values possible for your application. Doing so extends battery
life and lowers internal temperatures of the pen tablet.
