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.
Saving power
Disable Fast startup
Your computer uses Fast startup to start quickly, but also uses a small amount of
power to check for signals to start. These checks will slowly drain your computer's
battery.
If you prefer to reduce your computer's power requirements and environmental
impact, turn off Fast startup:
Note: If Fast startup is off, your computer will take longer to start from
Sleep. If your computer features Acer Instant On or Acer Instant
Connect, these will also be turned off.
Your computer will also not start if it receives an instruction to start
over a network or from a connected HDMI device (Wake on LAN or
Wake on HDMI).
