Starting the TOSHIBA Sleep Utility

To start the utility, click Start-> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities ->

Sleep Utility.

Enabling Sleep and Charge

This utility can be used to enable and disable the Sleep and Charge

function.
Select the Enable Sleep and Charge check box to enable this function for

the compatible USB ports. The default state is disabled.

When Sleep and Charge function is enabled, USB bus power (DC5V)

will be supplied to compatible ports even when the power of the

computer is turned OFF.

USB bus power (DC5V) is similarly supplied to the external devices

which are connected to the compatible ports. However, some external

devices cannot be charged solely by supplying USB bus power

(DC5V).

As for the specifications of the external devices, please contact the

device manufacturer or check the specifications of the external devices

thoroughly before use.

Using the sleep and charge function to charge external devices will

take longer than charging the devices with their own chargers.

If Sleep and Charge function is enabled, the computer's battery will

discharge during hibernation or when the computer is turned off. It is

recommended that you connect the AC adaptor to the computer when

enabling the Sleep and Charge function.

External devices connected to the USB bus power (DC5V) function that

interfaces with the power ON/OFF of the computer may always be in

an operational state.

When there is a current overflow of the external devices connected to

the compatible ports, USB bus power (DC5V) supply may be stopped

for safety reasons.

When Sleep and Charge function is enabled, the USB Wakeup function

does not work for compatible ports.

In that case, if there is a USB port that does not have the Sleep and
Charge function-compatible icon
( ), attach the mouse or keyboard to

it.

If all USB ports have the Sleep and Charge function-compatible icon
( ), change to disable Sleep and Charge function.

The USB Wakeup function will now work, but the Sleep and Charge

function will be disabled.

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.
