4. Using the Notebook PC
Power Menu
The Power menu of the Setup program allows you to manually enable and adjust certain power saving
features of the Notebook PC, which are necessary for systems without APM or ACPI. For Windows 98
with APM or ACPI, all power saving controls are made through the operating system. Enabling these
features will extend the life of the battery pack between charges. To make changes to power manage-
ment settings, select Power Savings from the menu bar. The following menu appears:
Power Management [User Define]
This option must be enabled to use any of the automatic power saving features.
If this menu item is set to Disabled, power management features will not function regardless of other
field settings on this menu. The Customized option allows you to make your own selections in the
Power menu. When set to Max Saving, system power will be conserved to its greatest amount. The
next four fields will then be set to predefined values that ensure maximum power savings.
When this field is set to Min Saving, best system performance is achieved with some power conserva-
tion. The timeout fields will then be set to predefined values that ensure maximum performance. The
configuration options are: [User Define] [Disabled] [Min Saving] [Max Saving]
