POWER MANAGEMENT This computer has a built-in power management unit that monitors system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or more of the following devices: keyboard, mouse, hard disk, peripherals connected to the computer, and video memory. If no activity is detected for a period of time, the computer stops some or all of these devices in order to conserve energy. Acer Green Instant On The Acer Green Instant On feature allows your computer to wake up from Sleep mode in less than the time it takes to open the lid. When you close the lid, or select Shut Down > Sleep from the Start menu, your computer enters Sleep mode. While the computer is in Sleep mode, the power indicator LED will flash orange. Open the lid or press any key to wake the computer up from Sleep mode. After 8 hours in Sleep mode, the computer will enter Deep Sleep to preserve battery life. When the computer is in Deep Sleep, the power indicator LED will be turned off. In this state, battery life lasts up to 50 days. Press the power button to wake up from Deep Sleep. Acer Green Instant On uses the power-saving features of your computer to reduce overall power consumption. Note: You can change the delay before entering Deep Sleep with Start > All Programs > Acer > Deep Sleep Settings. 50 - Power management
