Using the TOSHIBA Sleep Utility
This utility displays whether the USB Sleep and Charge function is enabled
or disabled and shows the positions of USB ports that support the USB
Sleep and Charge function. It also displays the remaining battery capacity.
USB Sleep and Charge
Your computer can supply USB bus power (DC5V) to the USB port even
when the power of the computer is turned OFF. "Power OFF" includes
Sleep Mode, Hibernation Mode or shutdown state.
This function can be used for ports that support the USB Sleep and Charge
function (hereinafter called "compatible ports").
Compatible ports are USB ports that have the ( ) symbol icon.
You can use the Sleep and Charge function to charge certain USB-
compatible external devices such as mobile phones or portable digital
music players.
However, the Sleep and Charge function may not work with certain external
devices even if they are compliant with the USB specification. In those
cases, turn the power of the computer ON to charge the device.
This function does not work when the computer is booting, in Sleep Mode,
in Hibernation Mode, in transition to Hibernation Mode, recovering from
Hibernation Mode, or powered off. Do not subject the computer to vibration
or impact while the function is disabled.
■
When USB Sleep and Charge function is enabled, USB bus power
(DC5V) will be supplied to compatible ports even when the power of the
computer is turned OFF.
USB bus power (DC5V) is similarly supplied to the external devices
which are connected to the compatible ports. However, some external
devices cannot be charged solely by supplying USB bus power (DC5V).
As for the specifications of the external devices, please contact the
device manufacturer or check the specifications of the external devices
thoroughly before use.
■
Using the USB sleep and charge function to charge external devices
will take longer than charging the devices with their own chargers.
■
If USB Sleep and Charge function is enabled, the computer’s battery
will discharge during hibernation or when the computer is turned off. It
is recommended that you connect the AC adaptor to the computer
when enabling the USB Sleep and Charge function.
