Opus 150- 10sec or 20 minute??? what the?

**djtrickee** · 10-07-2004, 01:01 PM

Ok. I cant hibernate in under 10 seconds and 20 minutes seems absurd. Whose brilliant idea was it to jump from 10 seconds all the way up to 20 minutes? Is there no way to get a 1 minute or 2 minutes shutdown setting on teh Opus? Can i combine jumpers to get a desired effect?
Seems silly to jump from 10 seconds to 20 minutes.

Although the jump is lame what that refers to is a delay before it actually begins the hybernation/shutdown process.

It will supply power until the it is fully shutdown or hybernated

Oh? so i can put it on the 10 second. shut off the car. and it will complete the hibernation sequence THEN wait 10 seconds? or i shut down the car, it waits 10 seconds THEN completes the hibernation sequence?

hmmm...

what will happen is...if you set it to 10 sec. You will turn your key off and the car will turn off, 10 sec. later your comp. will go into hibernation or shutdown or whatever you have it set to...and will continued to power the computer unil the shutdown or hibernation sequence has completed.

Thanks for the clarification. I had it set on 20 minutes because i couldnt get my carputer to hibernate in under 10 seconds, lol! I didnt realize it would power it until it was done with the process.

Also, if the computer doesn't respond after the Opus sends the power switch signal, it will forcefully kill power after about 15-20minutes (not sure of the exact time).
