Using Power Management Options 63

if your computer cannot resume normal operation because of a
low battery charge.

When your computer is in power on suspend or
save to disk mode, do not connect or remove
any devices (including PC Cards or memory
modules) because you may damage the
computer or resume to full power may fail. If a
floppy disk is in the floppy drive, do not remove
it or switch it with another disk.

However, you can plug in the AC adapter if the
resume to full power fails because of a low
battery charge.

When the computer is in save to disk mode, you
can remove and replace the battery.

Using PowerProfiler

PowerProfiler enables you to set power-management options for
computers shipped with Windows NT installed. To open the
PowerProfiler window, double-click the battery icon on the right
corner of the Windows taskbar. If you click the icon with the right
mouse button, a menu appears with an option to put the computer in
suspend (suspend mode).

Click the Standard tab in PowerProfiler to set timeouts for the LCD and
the hard drive. You can also set power management to be enabled
Always, Battery Only, or Never. The Advanced screen in PowerProfiler
enables resume from suspend options, and the Battery screen enables
options to conserve battery life.

Keep the following in mind when using PowerProfiler:



If you disable power management in PowerProfiler, the setting
overrides any power-management settings in System Setup.



If you enable LCD and hard drive timeouts in PowerProfiler
and the standby timeout in System Setup, the LCD and hard
drive turn off when the shortest timeout period in either
program passes.



If you disable the Resume on Time field in System Setup, the
same field in PowerProfiler is also automatically disabled. An
