between battery life and response time.

If you choose the Custom option, you can change the individual time-out
settings, such as the automatic turn-off time. The greater the idle time before
turn off, the more battery power you will use.

Note

The OmniBook automatic turn-off feature operates only when the OmniBook is
running on battery power. If the ac adapter is powering the unit, the OmniBook does
not automatically turn off.
