7.5 Power Settings
These settings will help you to save battery power.
You can set the AV300 to conserve power for both modes of operation (when it is
powered from the battery, or when it is connected to the AC charger/adapter (DC-
Power operation).
Parameter Description
Power Off 1-9, Never. Values 1 - 9 represent the number of minutes of user inactivity (no buttons
pressed) before the AV300 shuts off. During the playback of MP3 and AVI les, this
setting takes effect only after the les are nished playing.
Backlight Off 1-11, Never. These values represent 10 - 110 seconds of user inactivity (no buttons
pressed) before the AV300 turns off the screen to conserve power. During the
playback of AVI les, this setting only takes effect once the le is nished playing.
Hard disk 1-11, Never. These values represent 10-110 seconds from the time of the last le
access before the AV300 tells the internal hard disk to stop turning. The longer this
time is set, the more often the hard disk is turning and the quicker the response time
when accessing les. However, as it is set longer, it will quickly consume your battery.
Caution: this setting should only be changed by experienced users.
A typical use of these settings is to set the power off, screen off, and hard disk to low
values when used in battery mode. When the power adapter is plugged in, you do not
need to conserve energy and thus keeping the Power on and the Backlight on makes
using the AV300 more agreeable. Increasing the hard disk value beyond the default
may actually discharge the battery even when the Charger/adapter is plugged in.
Note also that your unit will run hotter when the backlight and hard disk are on for long
periods of time.
