Situation
i wish to use the timers to create my preferred power management configuration i.e., to send the device to sleep every night from 12.00pm-6.00am except Sunday night, which is when I use it to create one of my Win7 32 bit Lenovo laptop backups. On Sunday and I want it to wake say, at 6.00 and stay awake until Midnight on Monday, when it should go into its 6 day routine of switching off for the night at midnight
Complication
I can't think of a logical way to do it.
Attempted solutions
- Engage Timer 1, select mode 'Specific day of the week', check all tick boxes except Sunday
- Engage Timer 2, er, . . . . .
Commentary
If I only use Timer 1 for 6 days/nights, then as far as I can see, it will fall asleep on Saturday at midnight and won't awaken until Monday morning at 6.00am. If I try to set Timer 2 only for waking at 6.00 and leaving the 'begin sleep' drop down menu blank, I get an error message 'Sleep timer of Usage Window 2 is earlier than awaken time of Usage Window 2. Please set Sleep Time later than Awaken Time'.
Does anyone know if the configuration I'm after is possible, and how I would set it up (otherwise I guess I have to set myself a Calendar reminder to disable the timer on Saturday evening and re-instate it on Monday evening, no deal breaker but I was hoping that this is what timers are for).
Thanks
Phil
