• Power Save Mode
 Disable – Choosing this option will disable the power save mode.
 Always Enable – Choosing this option will have the power save mode always enabled.
This is the default setting.
 Auto Enable – When internal battery is being used it will be in Power Save mode; when
external power supply is being used the Power Save mode will be disabled automatically.
• Performance/Power Sliding Bar
Move the bar to balance between the performance of the WLAN card and length of the battery life.
Default is set to Best Performance. Not operable if the Power Save Mode is Disable. The leftmost
position on the sliding bar (Best Performance) indicates that the WLAN station will listen to every
beacon from the associated AP. The default beacon interval is 100 ms for most APs. When the knob
is dragged to the right-hand-side, the station will listen to the beacon in multiple beacon intervals
depending on the position on the slide bar. The rightmost position (Best Battery Life) indicates the
beacon interval is 10 times of AP’s beacon interval, i.e. 1000 ms when the beacon interval is set to
100ms. For the Sliding bar to take effect, the Power Save Mode needs to be either Always Enable or
Auto Enable, and you need to click on the Apply button.
