Disk Drives
The Disk Drives Tab is used to set up the time the Windows operating system waits
before switching the disk drive to low power mode when the computer is powered by
AC power and battery.
PC Card Modems Tab
When PC Card modems are installed, they draw power from the system even when they
are not in use. For optimum power conservation, follow this guideline when using PC
Card modems: if PC Card modems are kept in the computer, set the PC Card Modems
tab to turn off power to PC Card modems when they are not in use. Otherwise, remove
PC Card modems when they are not being used.

Product Description 1-9
Battery Conservation Tab
The Battery Conservation tab allows you to select the level of battery conservation:
High, Medium, None (Drain), or Custom. Medium conservation is the default setting.
In addition to accessing this tab through the Power menu and Power Management, you
can press hotkeys Fn+F7 in any application. A popup window displays the current
battery level. Use the left or right arrow to select a different level.
➊High Conservation—Provides maximum battery conservation and the most battery
life from a single charge.
➋Medium Conservation (Default Setting)—Provides a balance between system
performance and battery life.
➌None (Drain)—Turns off the battery conservation features, which allows the system
to run at full speed. This setting also causes the computer to fail to initiate
Hibernation. At other conservation settings, the computer automatically initiates
Hibernation when it reaches a low-battery condition, even if Hibernation has been
manually disabled.
CAUTION: Before setting the battery conservation level to None (Drain), ensure that the
Hibernation feature has not been disabled.
➍Custom—Allows you to specify conservation settings for Suspend, system idle,
screen save, processor speed, and brightness. Refer the following section for
information on timeouts.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
1-10 Product Description
Hibernation Tab
The Hibernation tab allows you to enable or disable Hibernation and to set the timeout
periods after which the system initiates Hibernation. For Hibernation to work, it must
allocate space on the hard drive equal to the amount of system memory. Turning off
Hibernation is not recommended by Compaq; however, it is possible to free up this disk
space by disabling Hibernation.
CAUTION: Turning off Hibernation is not recommended. If the computer reaches a
low-battery condition and Hibernation has been disabled, unsaved information is lost.
When the computer is restarted after adding memory, the system first upgrades the
memory, then allocates or updates the disk space to adjust to the new amount of
memory.
NOTE:
If you experience problems with Hibernation after upgrading the memory, go to
the Power icon and click the Hibernation tab to reset the system memory.
Timeouts are specified periods of system or component inactivity designed to conserve
power. When a timeout period expires, battery conservation shuts down the system or
the specified components to save power.
For example, the hard drive idle default timeout is two minutes. If an application does
not access information on the hard disk for two minutes, the hard drive shuts down until
it is accessed again.
These guidelines can aid in choosing the most appropriate timeouts for the computer:
1. The preset timeout provides the medium (default) or high level of battery
conservation.
2. Customized timeouts, which are set through the custom level of battery conservation,
allow the computer to work more efficiently with applications on the computer.
