Battery
The notebook uses less power when the available power-management features are used. You
will then be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
Power ef
fi
ciency is increased and environmental pollution reduced. By
choosing the best power options, you can make signi
fi
cant savings and
at the same time help protect the environment.
When you close the LCD screen, depending on the setting in Windows, the
notebook automatically enters a power saving mode.

When the notebook is in power-saving mode, the following must be remembered:
During power saving mode, open
