Parameter Description
Power Off 1-9 minutes or Never. The number of minutes of user inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the Gmini
500 shuts
off. During the playback of music or video les, this setting takes effect only after the les are nished playing.
Backlight Off 10-90 seconds or Never. The time of user inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the Gmini
500 turns off the screen
to conserve power. During the playback of video les, this setting only takes effect once the le is nished playing.
Hard drive 10-90 seconds. The number of seconds from the time of the last le access before the Gmini
500 tells the internal
hard drive to stop spinning. The longer this time is set, the more often the hard drive is turning and the quicker the
response time when accessing les. However, as it is set longer, it will quickly consume your battery. Caution: This
setting should only be changed by experienced users.
Standby 1-9 minutes or Never. The number of minutes of user inactivity (no buttons pressed) before the Gmini
500 goes
into Standby mode. When powered by the AC charger/adapter (or connected to a powered TV docking pod), the
Gmini
500 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 drive 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 Gmini
500 more agreeable. Increasing the hard drive value beyond
the default may actually discharge the battery even when the Charger/adapter is plugged in. Note also that your
unit will run hotter when the backlight and hard drive are on for long periods of time.
