Power Management — Power Saving Tips
•
The computer will automatically enter suspend mode when not
used for a set period of time.
•
Selecting the Stand by button in the Shut Down Windows dialog
box.
•
Closing the screen cover (assuming no external monitor has
been connected).
•
Pressing the power button (if enabled in power settings).
•
Pressing the suspend function key <Fn> + <F4>.
Power Button Settings
The function of the power button can be set to Shutdown or Standby in
the Power Management Properties dialog box in the Windows Control
Panel. However, holding the power button down for more than four
seconds will force a power off while operating under any situation,
resulting in the loss of any unsaved information.
Power Saving Tips
•
Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications
when using battery power. Operating a fax modem, video, or
audio equipment increases the computer's power requirements.
•
Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease
brightness by pushing <Fn> + <F6>. Increase it by pushing
<Fn> + <F7>.
