None (Drain): Turns off battery conservation features so that
the system runs at full speed. Hibernation is turned on when
you purchase the computer. The system also initiates
Hibernation automatically when it reaches a low-battery
condition. But, in the None (Drain) setting, the computer will
not initiate Hibernation if it has been manually disabled.
CAUTION:
Before setting your battery conservation level to
None (Drain), make sure the Hibernation feature has not been
disabled.

Custom: Saves battery power according to your specifications
by allowing you to customize timeouts and warning beeps.
(See the following section for information on timeouts.)
NOTE:
Each setting remains in effect until you change it.
Setting a Timeout
Use the Hibernation tab in Power Management to set timeouts.
Timeouts are specified periods of system or component inactivity
designed to conserve power. When a timeout period expires,
battery conservation shuts down the system or the specified
components to save power.
For example, the hard drive idle default timeout is two minutes. If
an application does not access information on the hard disk for
two minutes, the hard drive shuts down until it is accessed again.
Use timeouts in the following ways:
■
Use a preset timeout provided with the medium (default) or
high level of battery conservation.
■
Set your own timeouts through the custom level of battery
conservation so that the computer works more efficiently with
your applications.
