Configuring the Power Management Options

Configuring the Power Management Options

To help you get the optimum performance out of your unit, it comes with
predefined sets of parameters (plans) to manage power.

When you do not use the unit for a while, the display may be turned off to
save power. You can also configure the unit to go into sleep mode after the
specified duration has expired (see Turning Off Your Unit on page 32).

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 and the

LED is lit and not blinking, the

unit operation is not interrupted. Touch anywhere on the screen to return to
normal operation.

The table below identifies the predefined power plans.

Power Plan

Characteristics

EXFO - Standard (selected

by default)

(sleep, hibernation), when the unit is

connected to AC power, and optimizes the

energy consumption when the unit is

powered by batteries.

EXFO - Always On

Allows you to work with the unit without

interruption (sleep, hibernation), regardless

of whether the unit is powered by AC or

batteries.

EXFO - Max Battery

Optimizes the energy consumption, which

could be particularly useful when you

operate the unit on batteries.
