Power4 Gear starts automatically with Windows. You can right-click the icon on the taskbar for quick access
to Power4 Gear settings.
Modes and Power Segments
When you are using an AC adapter, the Power4 Gear button will allow switching between modes as shown
in AC Mode. When you remove the AC adapter, the Power4 Gear button will allow switching between
modes as in Battery Mode. When you remove or apply the AC adapter, Power4 Gear will automatically shift
you up or down into the proper mode segment.
Benefits of Power4 Gear
Power4 Gear gives you control over power consumption items by allowing you to instantly “shift” from one
power consumption scheme to another. The preferences or “gears” are shown below. You can change or
“shift” gears by using the Power4 Gear button above the keyboard or by using the task bar icon. Power4 Gear
can also be automatically activated when AC power is removed.
