The Power Management configurator allows to set these parameters:
- Screen Saver: you can indicate the type of screen saver to use and the timeout.
- Power Button: select the Default Action that is executed when the user press the physical power button on the device and the timeout in seconds.
- DPMS(Display Power Management Signaling): indicate the minutes after which the display will go on Standby, suspend, off (a value of 0 means that the feature is not enabled).
- Suspend: this section allows to define the behavior of the suspend mode:
- Enable Suspend: if enabled, it allows the user to select between Restart, Power Off and Suspend when the Power Button is pressed on the device;
- Enable Autosuspend: if enabled, it puts the device in suspend mode after "x" minutes of user inactivity.
AutoSuspend Mode and Energy Star compliance
Due to compliance with the Energy Star directives the System AutoSuspend is enabled and the time limit parameter is set to 30 minutes. This means that if you do not use the device for at least 30 minutes it will go in suspend mode. To wake up a device in suspend mode just press the power on button.
Touch Screen AddOns & Screen Saver Options
Whenever a Touch Screen AddOn has been installed on the device, the DPMS and ScreenSaver options will be ignored on the next restart.
