Note: Only administrator-level users can configure the power management
options. These options can only be modified for administrator-level
accounts.
To get the optimum performance out of your FTB-500, your unit comes
with predefined sets of parameters (schemes) to manage power.
When you do not use the unit for a while, the display and hard disks may
be turned off to save power. You can also configure the unit to go into
standby or hibernation mode after the specified duration has expired
(see Turning Off the FTB-500 on page 30).
For all of these actions, you can set idle durations for AC adapter/charger
and battery operation. The values that you set are kept in memory even
when you turn the unit off.
Note: When the backlight is turned off, the unit operation is not interrupted. Press
any key or touch anywhere on the screen to return to normal operation.
The table below indicates the default values that are included in each of
the predefined power schemes.
