Battery Saving: what is the battery saving feature and where is it?

the HK turns off automatically if no song is played from the ipod. i assume that's the battery saving feature. i am not sure how long it takes to turn off, but in my case i had to wait about 10 minutes until it turned off from alone.

Yes, it saves the battery to do so. I believe it is done within location settings.

How could such a relatively sophisticated device not have such an obvious feature as an easy-to-use way to use the device while it's charging? Hadn't those geniuses thought about the user runnig out of battery power 1/2-way to a new/unknown destination? Geez...

I have no idea. Mine shuts down the screen and for all practical purposes looks dead but if I move the mouse it comes back to life. Not all at once but you can see it lighting up on the bottom edge of the screen, It is, essentially, a laptop so I assume it does it to save the screen and "battery" if it sits for quite awhile with no input. Hope this helps.....

I don't believe the box has any internal power save feature, but it does pass any OS sent power saving commands through to the drive. So if your OS has a spin down timer configured in its power options, then the external drive will share that spin down function and turn off and on with the OS requests.

Yes. I believe it is what del justen shared below:"Yes, it does that to save battery. Once you press a button give a second then it will reactivate."Although it is somewhat irritating when you are multi-tasking between things. Anyone know if there is a setting that will tell the tablet to ONLY use the keyboard and not switch with inactivity?

Yes this is an option in one of the menus. This can be turned on and off. If you use the GPS it does use the battery a little more then if you don't use it.

On "Battery Saver" power settings with brightness of the screen turned down, for web browsing and word processing my battery runs to around 10% at about 6 hours or so. In the description on Amazon it advertises 6.5 hours of battery life. I'd say that is about correct.

Check your battery settings likely WiFi is being turned off in battery saving mode....

There are no external buttons on the track pad, but a single finger click is left click and two fingers is right click. The battery life is excellent, getting over 6 six hours of steady use from a full charge, without making any battery saving adjustments to prolong the charge such as screen brightness, etc. It has several power saving settings which can be setup to make it last longer as well.

No. To save on battery power, it only lights when buttons are pressed. I prefer to have even THAT option disabled. I have flashlights to supply power during outages. If you'd like to get one, go here; http://lightsngear.com

Yes to your first question. As for the battery back up timer I haven't seen one of those.

I'm not sure...I don't leave it on when it's not in use. I only turn it on when I go to back up my files and then I power down after I'm done/eject.

I have mine set to power - saving mode and I can get three and half days of normal use. An average of 5hrs a daily.

I have the 1068 on backorder, so I don't have mine yet. I've just been reading up on them.Someone in a thread mentioned to undo "Power Saver". I'm not a techie, you might want to check the other threads. HTH

Hello Kelly, From my experience it saves your settings. I think you can think of the memory in this more like a flash drive. when not powered it still keeps the info. it does not have a battery inside, but i dont think it needs one. it is also part of your alarm system and would be using the juice from its battery in case of a power outage. hope this helps

No it does not! Actually, it turns itself off after like 8 minutes to save your battery! Good buy!
