7.5 Power 

Settings 

These settings will help you to save battery power.  

 

 

You can set the AV300 to conserve power for both modes of operation (when it is running off the 

battery, or when it is connected to the AC charger/adapter (DC-Power operation). 

 

Parameter 

Description 

Power Off 

1-9, Never

. Values 1 – 9 represent the number of minutes of user inactivity 

(no buttons pressed) before the AV300 shuts off. During the playback of 
MP3 and AVI files, this setting takes effect only after the files are finished 
playing.  

Backlight Off 

1-11, Never

. These values represent 10 – 110 seconds of user inactivity 

(no buttons pressed) before the AV300 turns off the screen to conserve 
power. During the playback of AVI files, this setting only takes effect once 
the file is finished playing.  

Hard drive 

1-11, Never.  

These values represent 10-110 seconds from the time of the 

last file access before the AV300 tells the internal hard drive to stop 
turning.  The longer this time is set, the more often the hard disk is turning 
and the quicker the response time when accessing files.  However, as it is 
set longer, it will quickly consume your battery. 

Caution:

 This setting 

should only be changed by experienced users. 

A typical use of these settings is to set the power off, screen off, and Hard drive to low values 

when used in battery mode.  When the power adapter is plugged in, you do not need to conserve 

energy and thus keeping the Power on and the Backlight on makes using the AV300 more 

agreeable.  Increasing the Hard drive value beyond the default may actually discharge the battery 

even when the Charger/adapter is plugged in.  Note also that your unit will run hotter when the 

backlight and hard drive are on for long periods of time.
