Power Management
Your Fujitsu STYLISTIC Hybrid Tablet has many options and features for conserving battery power. Some of these
features are automatic and need no user intervention. However, others depend on the parameters you set to best suit
your operating conditions, such as those for the display brightness. Internal power management for your Hybrid
Tablet may be controlled from settings made in your operating system, pre-bundled power management application,
or from settings made in BIOS setup utility.
Besides the options available for conserving battery power, there are also some things that you can do to prevent
your battery from running down as quickly. For example, you can create an appropriate power saving profile, put your
Hybrid Tablet into Sleep mode when it is not performing an operation, and you can limit the use of high power
devices. As with all mobile, battery powered computers, there is a trade-off between performance and power savings.
Power/Suspend/Resume Switch
When your Hybrid Tablet is active, the Power/Suspend/Resume switch can be used to manually put the Hybrid Tablet
into Sleep mode. Slide the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when the Hybrid Tablet is active, but not actively accessing
anything, and immediately release the button.
If your tablet is suspended, sliding the Power/Suspend/Resume switch returns it to active operation. You can tell
whether the system is Suspended by looking at the Power indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing, your
Hybrid Tablet is fully operational. If the indicator is visible
and
flashing, the tablet is in Sleep mode. If the indicator
is not visible, the power is off or your tablet is in Hibernation mode.
Sleep Mode
Sleep mode in Windows saves the contents of your system memory during periods of inactivity by maintaining power
to critical parts. This mode turns off the CPU, display, hard drive, and all other internal components except those
necessary to maintain system memory and for restarting.
Your Hybrid Tablet can be put in sleep mode by:
•
Sliding the Power/Suspend/Resume switch when your system is turned on.
•
Selecting Sleep from the [Settings]->[Power] menu.
•
Timing out from lack of activity.
•
Allowing the battery to reach the Dead Battery Warning condition.
