Know this: Even when the machine is in "Sleep Mode", it is still on. Meaning there is still power on the main board. Only power to the motors and lights are turned off. It's kind of like the electronic equivalent of hitting the emergency stop button. For those who aren't familiar with "Sleep Mode",... Simply hold down the "Stop" button for 5 seconds. To "Wake Up" the machine, hold down the "Start" button for 5 seconds. The machine records the total amount of time the machine has had power applied to it and it also records the number of stitches the machine has created (this is known as "Z axis rotations"). If your machine has 1,000,000 Z axis rotations on it, and the average speed you sew at is 1,000 stitches per minute, then one could approximate the "sew time" would be around 16.66 hours (if my math is correct). Personally, I haven't run across anyone who has found actual run time information necessary.
