Power Management Features
Compaq Presario 5600 Series Personal Computers
support the following power management capabilities.
The following is a list of the power
management features:
- Power Status Lights. You can quickly tell
the sleep condition of the system by glancing at the Power Status Lights.
- Automatic standby. In Windows 98 there are
different Power Schemes under which the system goes into Sleep mode automatically when it
times out. The optional settings for Windows 98 are Home/Office Desk, Portable/Laptop
and Always On. The system supports different levels of power management
for varying patterns of computer usage.
- Default and Adjustable timeout settings.
The default setting for Sleep timeout is 30 minutes. The Sleep timeout value can be set in
the Control Panel by clicking the Power Management icon.
At the Properties screen, click System Standby, Turn
off Monitor, and Turn off Hard Disk to set the length of time
before the system goes to sleep.
- Manual standby. To manually put your
computer into sleep mode in the Windows 98 desktop, press the Instant On
button (on the CPU) or the Sleep button (on the keyboard). The power
status light on the CPU will light to show that Sleep mode is activated.
- Other manual standby options. Another way
to put your computer into sleep mode manually under Windows 98 is to select Start,
then Shutdown. Select Standby from the list of choices to put the
system into Sleep mode. The system can then be turned off or left in Sleep. When the Sleep
button is pressed, the system reboots to the Windows 98 Desktop.
- No audio CD interruption. When an audio CD
is playing, the system will time out and enter Sleep after 30 minutes or the set time, but
audio play will not be interrupted. If either the Instant On or the Sleep
button is pressed, CD play is suspended and the unit enters Sleep. CD play resumes on the
next track when the system wakes.
- Synchronized software and hardware volume control
buttons.
