Using BIOS Setup to Set Power Management
Power Management Setup allows you to use the factory-defined power
savings level (Longest Life), or choose between High Performance,
Custom, or Off. Each provides a special value to your current work
effort. These power management levels were designed with you in mind.
For example, you can use them under the following circumstances:
!
Longest Life — Provides best battery life and good performance. Use
while traveling long distances.
!
High Performance — Provides best performance and good battery
life. Use while on the road or traveling short distances.
!
Custom — Lets you decide! Set power management levels according
to your own needs and present environment.
!
Off — Works well in an office environment while powering your
NEC Versa with AC power.
Using the Save to File (STF) Feature
STF protects the integrity of your working files. For example, if you are
called away from your NEC Versa and Suspend mode is selected with
auto Save to File active, your system automatically goes into Suspend
mode. After 30 minutes, if you don’t return, your working environment
is saved to a special file on your hard disk.
Using STF can benefit you in the following ways.
!
When in STF, there is minimum battery drain.
!
Increases the life of your NEC Versa.
!
Saves you time. When you return from that urgent call or meeting,
you don’t have to reboot, just press the Power/Sleep button to resume
system operation.
