Bluettooth connection disconnects after some time

Hello,
I am using athinkpad T60 from Lenovo with an external bluetooth device.
It works well.
However, after some quite short time 1-2 minutes the connection is dropped an I have to connect to the
device manually again.
How to set this "time-out" delay to a longer time ?
Tanks !

Suggestion2: I couldn't find the device explicitly in Device Manager. See it only over COM10, after BT connection is established, so could not access power settings.

Suggestion 4: This looks most probable. It seams to me that the device  has an internal setting to enter in power-save mode. I have to contact the manufacturer.

I have un-ticked the "Allow the cumputer to turn off this device to save power" in device manager usb-hubs. My bluetooth deviec stays connected as long as the application is running. This solved my problem. Thanks!
