Off Mode
Off mode provides the highest level of power saving and the longest recovery times. With this
mode the display is actually turned off so that recovery times are equivalent to switching the moni-
tor on.
These four levels match the power saving modes defined by the VESA VBE/PM standard. As you
move down from one mode to the next, the amount of power being saved is greater, but so is the
amount of time that it takes for a monitor to recover and be ready to display data.
The screen saver cycles through all of the selected power saving modes one after another until the
maximum selected power saving mode has been reached. The number of minutes specified for
each level is the number of minutes after the previous mode has been enabled. It is not the total
time before entering that mode.
To select a power saving mode:
1
Select Control Panel from the Main group.
2. Select Desktop.
3. In the group Screen Saver within the Desktop dialog box, select the Screen Saver named
Display Power Manager.
4. Select the desired delay before entering a power saving mode.
5. Select Setup to further configure the power saving options.
The following sections describe these options. For further information on setting up Windows
screen savers, please refer to the Windows User Guide.
Special Considerations
Some of these power saving modes are intended for specific display types, so not all of them are
available on all video controllers. On some controllers, only the animated logo is available.
For the power saving modes to have any effect beyond just blanking the screen, the monitor being
used must have specific power saving features.
Note that if the screen saver is in any of the power saving modes, moving the mouse does not wake
it up. This is different from normal screen savers and is used to keep the monitor from waking up
because of accidents such as bumping the desk where the computer is sitting. This is especially
important if the password option is enabled, since once the password dialog box pops up, it stays
there until the user turns it off. This is a limitation of the Windows 3.X screen saver interface.
Using the Screen Saver
When the screen saver is started, it initially displays a bouncing logo on a black background. To
enable additional levels of power saving, select them from the Screen Saver Mode section of the
Setup dialog box.
