Chapter 3 Using the Motion C5 29
Using power management
The C5 includes a comprehensive suite of power management functions. By using the
Power Options Properties window, you can control the following:
• Power schemes
• Alarms for low and critical battery
• Power meter readings for up to two batteries
• Advanced power settings
• Hibernation settings
Power Schemes
Use the Power Schemes tab to select from a set of pre-defined power schemes that are
appropriate for various computing environments. You can also define your own scheme, or
save one to another name that makes more sense to you.
Alarms
Use the Alarms tab to specify the point at which battery alarms are activated for the low and
critically low battery level states. You can also define what happens when that battery level
is reached. For example, you may choose to have the C5 sound an alarm, or you may prefer
to receive a visual reminder.
Power Meter
Use the Power Meter tab to see a visual indication of the power status. If you select the
Show Details option, you can tap a battery icon for more information.
Advanced
Use the Advanced tab to define the power-saving settings that you want to use. You can
specify what you want the C5 to do when you press the Power switch.
Hibernate
Use the Hibernate tab enable or disable hibernation. This tab also shows information about
the disk space used for hibernation. To use Hibernation, see “Using Hibernate” on page 31.
To manage power settings
1. Open Motion Dashboard to the Power panel (page 18).
2. Tap the Properties button.
