Your device offers automatic and customisable power-saving and energy functions that

9.5.1. Energy Saving Tips
• Tune the settings in Power Options to optimize the computer’s power management.
• Always disconnect the AC power cord or uninstall the battery pack or switch off the
wall socket if the computer would be left unused for a certain time to
achieve zero energy consumption.
The power management feature allows the computer to initiate a lower-power or
“Sleep” mode after a period of user inactivity.
To take advantage of these potential energy savings, the power management feature
has been preset to behave in the following ways when the system is operating on AC power:
• Turn off the display after 10 minutes
• Initiate Sleep after 30 minutes
when the system is operating on DC power:
• Turn off the display after 5 minutes
• Initiate Sleep after 15 minutes
The device exits Sleep when the On/Off button is pressed.
