DISPLAY TIMEOUT

The Video Timeout is one of the power management
parameters. This feature saves power by turning off the
display if there is no keyboard or pointer activity for the
user selected timeout period. Any keyboard or pointer
activity will cause the display to restart automatically.
This feature is independent of the Power/Suspend/
Resume button and can be enabled and disabled in
Windows.

HARD DISK TIMEOUT

The Hard Disk Timeout is another one of the power
management parameters. This feature saves power by
turning off the hard drive if there is no hard drive
activity for the user selected timeout period. Any
attempt to access the hard drive will cause it to restart
automatically. This feature is independent of the Power/
Suspend/Resume button and can be enabled and
disabled in Windows.

WINDOWS POWER MANAGEMENT

The Power Management icon located in the Windows
Control Panel allows you to configure some power
management settings. For example, you can use Power
Management to set the timeout values for turning off the
display and hard disks whether you are running the
notebook on battery power or one of the adapters.

accessing a disk or PC Card there is a risk of data loss. To
ensure that the notebook shuts down without error, use
the Windows shutdown procedure.

Using the correct procedure to shut down from Windows
allows your notebook to complete its operations and turn
off power in the proper sequence to avoid errors. The

Turning off your notebook without exiting
Windows, or turning it on within 10
seconds of being shut off may cause an
error when you start the next time.

Be sure to close all files, exit all
applications, and shut down your
operating system prior to turning off the
power. If files are open when you turn the
power off, you will lose any changes that
have not been saved, and may cause disk
errors.
