Theseinclude Longest Battery Life, Highest Performance, Custom Setup, and Power ManagementOff. The power management levels are also available during AC operation. The NEC Versa4000 computer ships with Longest Battery Life as the default power management setting.See Section 2 for specific procedures on using Auto Setup to select the power managementsettings.When set to Longest Battery Life, CMOS will set local device timeout values, a local stand-by timeout value, and a suspend timeout value to ensure the longest battery life. The High-est Performance setting selects CMOS values that will provide minimal energy savings anda shorter battery life. The custom settings enable end-users to set the timeout values of theirchoice. The Power Management Off selection terminates all power management timers.Local device timers in the system control power consumption in the LCD and Hard DiskDrive.
