Adapter Alerts


This policy manages "Adapter Alerts".

User Controlled : Allow the system user to select whether this alert is displayed or suppressed. (This is the default value).

On : This alert must be displayed if its condition is detected.

Off: This alert must be suppressed if its condition is detected.

Notes:
1. Dual adapter is an adapter plugged directly into the notebook and another adapter plugged into the docking station while the notebook is docked.
2. Single adapter is an adapter plugged into either the notebook or docking station.
3. Adapter Alerts apply to single and dual adapter alerts.

Note: Selecting "Not Configured" or "Disabled" will have the same effect.

Supported on: Dell Power Manager (when the system BIOS supports Peak Shift)
