Automatic Shuto
To preserve battery life, the Fusion has two auto-off presets.
Preset number one begins when the On key is pressed. The
Fusion will automatically turn off in 60 seconds if no other key

logs in and begins working on the Fusion. Preset number
two is set for 4 minutes. The auto-off presets can be adjusted.
Follow these steps: Turn the Fusion on and immediately
hold down Ctrl-Alt and tap “P”. Enter the Fusion password
