Start - Settings - System - Power - Advanced

Change battery power off timeout, or untick the box if you don't want it to switch itself off (will drain battery fully if left unattended).

Hope this is what you were after.

I don't understand. I mean I can't find it

what I see in there is

-On battery power:
turn off device if not used for

-On external power:
turn off device if not used for

You are in the right place.

Where it says :
-On battery power:
turn off device if not used for

There should be a tick box to the left and a drop down box with times to the right. Ticking the box tells the device to power off if not used for the time defined in the drop down box when running on battery.

Where it says:
-On external power:
turn off device if not used for

There should also be a tick box to the left and a drop down box with times to the right. Ticking the box tells the device to power off if not used for the time defined in the drop down box when running connected to an external power supply (charger or USB connection).

You need to tick the boxes appropriately - do you want the device to switch off when connected to the external power and/or when running on battery?

You also need to set the time settings appropriately. How long do you want the device to stay on if keys are not touched when running on battery?

Personally I have the battery box ticked and the external box unticked. Battery timeout is set to 3 minutes and the external timeout is not importanat as it is switched off. Result is my device auto powers off after 3minutes when running on battery, but doesn't auto power of when connected to the charger or to a USB connection.

Hope this is clearer and answers your query.
