 Power Manager does assume that each of these options will work at the hardware level and so it attempts to prevent an illogical configuration; e.g., a **Blank after** period greater than a **Put to sleep after** one. In a setup like the one shown in the screenshot above, if you drag the //On battery// **Put to sleep after** slider down to, say, 5 minutes, the **Blank after** slider will automatically move to one minute less. Likewise, if you try to reduce the **Switch off after** period to less than the other two, it will move the other two sliders to one minute and two minutes less, respectively. Power Manager does assume that each of these options will work at the hardware level and so it attempts to prevent an illogical configuration; e.g., a **Blank after** period greater than a **Put to sleep after** one.
