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 Always 

Connect, these will also be turned off. 

Your computer will also not start if it receives an instruction to start 

over a network (Wake on LAN).
