About power management

The Reader has a power management feature to avoid

unnecessary battery consumption. At purchase, power

management is activated. Power management

operates as follows:
 After 60 minutes of inactivity, the Reader enters

sleep mode automatically while the battery power is

consumed slightly.

 After 5 days of inactivity, the Reader automatically

shuts down and stops consuming the battery power.

 If the battery power is at a low level, the Reader will shut down

after 60 minutes of inactivity.

Hints

 You can activate/deactivate power management from “Power

Management” in the “Settings” menu (

page 154

).

 In addition to power management feature, you can save the

battery power using “Wireless Standby” (

page 35

,

).

Notes

 The Reader does not enter sleep mode after 60 minutes of

inactivity even if “Power Management” is set to “On,” when:

– connected to the computer using the supplied USB cable

– connected to an AC outlet

– playing audio files or a slideshow

 The Reader does not wake up from sleep mode when

receiving periodicals by auto delivery (

page 40

). Therefore, if

other operations are not performed for 5 days, the Reader will

automatically shut down by power management.
