Using Setup and Power Management 3-11
USING POWER MANAGEMENT
Power Management in the NEC Versa lets you conserve en-
ergy, save battery power, extend the life of your LCD
backlight, and protect against data loss due to low battery
power.
You can set some features to function automatically or acti-
vate them manually with the keyboard or a button.
It is wise to keep your Power Management features enabled,
even when using AC power.
Power Saving Modes
The NEC Versa has three different power consumption
states, these include:
Active Mode — All components are turned on and
active.
Standby Mode — This mode eliminates unnecessary
power consumption when you operate the system on
battery or AC power. Standby mode shuts down the
LCD panel, providing privacy as well as power savings.
Suspend Mode — This power-saving mode shuts down
all possible devices in the system while retaining data
and system status.
The system resumes Active mode when you press
Fn-Esc
or any key, the system detects a modem ring, or
you press the Power button. Suspend mode lets you save
power without first saving the working data.
Press the
Fn-Esc
to enter Suspend mode when you need
to be away from your system for a short period of time
and want to return to where you left off. You can toggle
between Suspend mode and Active mode.
