Low Battery Warning Beeps: You can turn off or on the lowbattery warning beeps. However, if you turn them off, the only indication of a low-battery condition may be the blinking battery light. CD-ROM Auto Insert Notification: In Windows NT, the Battery Conservation Settings tab includes an option to disable or enable CD-ROM Auto Insert Notification. If you have a CD-ROM drive and are operating on battery power, you may want to disable Auto Insert Notification. NOTE: In Windows 95, you can disable or enable CD-ROM Auto Insert Notification from the Device Manager tab in System Properties. Click StartÆSettingsÆControl PanelÆSystemÆ Device ManagerÆCD-ROMÆ[drive]ÆSettings tab. When Auto Insert Notification is enabled, the system constantly polls the CD-ROM drive so that it can automatically start a CD-ROM when inserted. This constant polling prevents the system from initiating Suspend after a specified timeout. (You can, however, initiate Suspend by pressing the suspend button.) If you want the system to automatically initiate Suspend while a CD-ROM drive is in the system, disable the CD-ROM Auto Insert Notification. You can then either enable it before inserting a CD-ROM, or start the CD-ROM by using the StartÆRun command. Using Power and Power Management 4-9
