Sleep Utilities
Metal paper clips or hair pins/clips will generate heat if
they come into contact with USB ports. Do not allow
USB ports to come into contact with metal products, for
example when carrying the computer in your bag.
Enabling/Disabling USB Sleep and Charge
This utility can be used to enable or disable the USB Sleep
and Charge function. To enable this function, select
Enable
.
To disable this function, toggle the Enable button to the
Disabled
position.
You can also control whether charging takes place when the
computer is running on battery power. To do so, select or de-
select the
Enable under Battery Mode
check box in the
utility.
If you enable charging when the computer is running on
battery power, you can specify that charging stops when
battery power drops below a certain level. Use the slider at
the bottom of the utility window (beneath the “Disable
features when the battery level reaches 10%” heading) to
specify when charging should stop. For example, if you set
the slider to 10%, charging will stop when 10% or less of the
battery power remains.
Power supply mode settings
Your computer may provide two different charging modes, to
support various types of USB devices. If your computer
provides more than one charging mode, the charging mode
you should select depends on the USB device you want to
charge. For example,
Auto Mode
, which is the default
mode, will charge a wide variety of digital audio players. If
your device does not charge in Auto Mode, try using
Alternate Mode
. To select a different charging mode, use
the
Power supply mode
drop-down list in the utility.
