Operating Basics

This utility can be used to enable and disable the USB Sleep and Charge 

function in groups. USB Sleep and Charge compatible USB ports are 

assigned to each group.
Check the check boxes for each group to enable the USB Sleep and 

Charge function for the USB ports assigned to that group. In the default 

state all groups are disabled.

There are several USB Sleep and Charge function modes.
"Mode 1" should normally be used. Set one of the other modes if the 

charge function cannot be used in "Mode 1". The selected charge mode will 

be applied to all groups.
Some groups may be grayed out and not able to be selected for some 

modes. This indicates that those groups are not compatible with the 

selected mode and the USB Sleep and Charge function cannot be used.
In this situation, either select a different mode, or set one of the selectable 

"Groups". This function may not be able to be used with some connected 

external devices even if the appropriate group is selected. In this situation, 

uncheck the check boxes for each group and stop using this function.

This utility can be used to specify the lower limit of remaining battery life for 

USB Sleep and Charge. Move the slider bar to specify the lower limit. If the 

remaining battery life falls below the setting, the USB Sleep and Charge 

function will be stopped. Checking the "AC Only" check box sets the utility 

to only charge when the AC adaptor is connected.

To protect against overheating, the processor is equipped with an internal 

temperature sensor which activates a cooling fan or lowers the processing 

speed if the computer's internal temperature rises to a certain level. You are 

able to select whether to control this temperature by either turning on the 

fan first, then if necessary lowering the processor speed, or by lowering the 

processor speed first, then if necessary turning on the fan. Both of these 

functions are controlled through the Power Options.
When the processor's temperature falls within normal range, the fan will be 

turned off and the processor operation returned to its standard speed.
