Conserving power

Your UMPC is equipped with power saving features which helps conserve power and

maximizes your UMPC’s performance.

Selecting a power plan

One of these power saving features is the power plan which is a collection of advanced power management settings.

To select a power plan:

1. From your UMPC screen, go to Start > Control Panel > Mobile PC > Change battery settings.

2. Select or customize a power plan from the list of existing power plans.

Setting your UMPC on Sleep or Hibernate mode

If you want a quick and simple way to conserve power, you can set your UMPC on Sleep or Hibernate mode:

• Sleep is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR). This function stores your current

data and status in RAM while many components are turned OFF. Because RAM is volatile, it requires power to keep (refresh) the data.

• Hibernate is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and stores your current data and

status on the hard disk drive. By doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely eliminated because certain wake-up components like LAN needs to remain powered. “Hibernate” saves more power compared to “Sleep”.

To set your UMPC on Sleep or Hibernate mode:

1. From your UMPC screen, go to Start.

2. Click the arrow next to the lock icon to display the menu.

3. From the menu, select either Sleep or Hibernate.

UL Safety Notices

Required for UL 1459 covering telecommunications (telephone) equipment intended to be electrically connected to a telecommunication network that has an operating voltage to ground that does not exceed 200V peak, 300V peak-to-peak, and 105V rms, and installed or used in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70).

When using the UMPC modem, basic safety precautions should always be followed to

reduce the risk of re, electric shock, and injury to persons, including the following:

• Do not use the UMPC near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

• Do not use the UMPC during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

• Do not use the UMPC in the vicinity of a gas leak.

Required for UL 1642 covering primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries for use as power sources in products. These batteries contain metallic lithium, or a lithium alloy, or a lithium ion, and may consist of a single electrochemical cell or two or more cells connected in series, parallel, or both, that convert chemical energy into electrical energy by an irreversible or reversible chemical reaction.

• Do not dispose the UMPC battery pack in a re, as they may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions to reduce the risk of injury to

persons due to re or explosion.

• Do not use power adapters or batteries from other devices to reduce the risk of

injury to persons due to re or explosion. Use only UL certied power adapters or batteries supplied by the manufacturer or authorized retailers.
