Power Management
Because the GSA Unit is a sophisticated system with multiple potential power sources and
several battery-powered components, optimal Power Management requires operator actions.
several battery-powered components, optimal Power Management requires operator actions.
When external power, either A/C or D/C, is available, that should be the preferred operating
mode since it will generally provide the longest uninterrupted operation. One of the best
techniques when external power is not available is to take advantage of the power
management features of the laptop computer. Place the CPU switch in the off position. This
cuts off case battery power to the laptop forcing it to run on its own battery, while still
providing power to the peripheral components. When the batteries in the computer become
low with use, the CPU switch can be placed back in the on position until the computer
batteries have been restored.

After a couple of hours on case battery power, the GSA Unit internal batteries are no longer
able to fully charge the computer batteries and/or provide power to the peripherals. At this
point, the GSA Unit should be connected to external power or data should be saved to disk
and preparations made to power down the system.
able to fully charge the computer batteries and/or provide power to the peripherals. At this
point, the GSA Unit should be connected to external power or data should be saved to disk
and preparations made to power down the system.
The GSA Unit peripherals can consume quite a bit of power, even when just idling.
Therefore, if you anticipate operating for an extended period on the batteries, turn off any
peripherals you are not using.
