Configure Mode Switch

The mode switch helps you extend the battery life. With Profile A set as the Active profile, the battery life can be

optimized for performance during activity. With Profile B as the Background profile, the battery life can be

optimized to save battery power during inactivity.

1. In the list of Getting Started wizards, tap Configure Mode Switch.

2. Tap on the link in the wizard to access the Change Mode switch settings.

3. Use the utility to configure your settings.

Step 1

Select the Enable the Mode Switch checkbox.

• To use the factory settings as the Active profile, tap the Restore the same

settings I had before radio button. Then, tap on Profile B and skip to Step 3.

• To customize your settings, select the Use the settings specified in profile A

radio button. Then, tap on the Profile A tab.

You may configure two profiles to suit your purposes. Typically, Profile A is the

Active profile (optimized for performance), and Profile B is the Background profile

(saves energy). However, you may configure it any way you like. You may select a

particular program in each of the profiles to launch when the mode switch is

employed. In both profiles, the WiFi remains connected resulting in an immediate

and smooth transition from Background to Active.

NOTE: When the Mode Switch is activated and the behavior is set to Restore the same settings I had before, the

Bluetooth radio state will not be restored to Discoverable when expected. Instead, the state is restored to ON,

non-discoverable.

If the option Use the settings specified in profile A is used, the utility will set the Bluetooth radio to Discoverable if

so configured. Profile B also correctly sets the Bluetooth radio state.
