If you select "Enabled," the external USB devices can
be charged via USB ports even when the system is in
low power mode (standby, hibernation, or power-off).
If you select "Enabled," the Always On USB
connector enables you to charge some devices,
such as iPod, iPhone and BlackBerry smartphones.
Note: If you want to charge these devices when
your computer is in hibernation mode or powered
off, you will need to open the Power Manager
program and configure corresponding settings to
enable the Always On USB connector function. For
details about how to enable the Always On USB
connector function, refer to the online help of the
Power Manager program.
When enabled, you can press the Fn key to keep
it in a pressed condition, then press the desired
function key. The action is equivalent to pressing the
required key and the Fn key simultaneously. When
you pressed the Fn key twice, the state is locked
until you press the Fn key again.
