3. On the Change settings for the plan page, click Change advanced power settings.
4. On the Advanced settings tab, double-click Sleep, double-click Sleep after, and then do one of the following:
If you’re using a laptop, click On battery or Plugged in (or both), click the arrow, and then click Never.
If you’re using a desktop computer, click Setting, click the arrow, and then click Never.
5. Double-click Hibernate after, and then do one of the following:
If you’re using a laptop, click On battery or Plugged in (or both), click the arrow, and then click Never.
If you’re using a desktop computer, click Setting, click the arrow, and then click Never.
6. If you also want the display to stay turned on, double-click
