Setting the suspend/hibernation timeout
(
page 12)
The suspend or hibernation function (
page 4) allows you to save power by automati-
cally cutting off power when the computer is idle or there is no access to individual de-
vices for 4 or 16 minutes. If [Advanced] or [Standard (Battery/AC adapter)] is selected
for [Power Saving], the suspend / hibernation timeout function will go into effect for both
the battery pack and the AC adapter. If, however, [Standard (Battery)] is selected for
[Power Saving], it will go into effect only during operation by the battery. The standby
timeout function is automatically set when [Advanced] or [Standard] is set. Note that the
standby timeout precedes the suspend/hibernation timeout.
It should be noted that for some applications, the suspend/hibernation timeout will not
work properly.
