17.5 Power Settings
These settings will help
you to save battery power
thus allowing a longer
battery autonomy.
You can set the AV400 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 minutes, Never. The number of minutes of user
inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the AV400 shuts off.
Backlight Off 10-110 seconds, Never. The time of user inactivity (no
buttons pressed) before the AV400 turns off the screen to
Hard disk 10-110 seconds, Never. The number of seconds from
internal hard disk to stop spinning. The longer this time is
set, the more often the hard disk is turning and the quicker
longer, it will quickly consume your battery. Caution: This
setting should only be changed by experienced users.
Standby 1-9 minutes, Never. The number of minutes of user
inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the AV400 goes into
Standby mode. When powered by the AC charger/adapter
(or connected to a powered TV Cradle), the AV400 will not
completely shut off. It will go into Standby mode. This way,
it can wake up to make a scheduled video recording.
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 AV400 more agreeable.
