Managing Power
Power-Saving Tips
Aside from enabling your computer’s power saving mode (see previous section),
you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by following these
suggestions.

Enter into power saving mode when using battery power.

Do not disable Power Management.

Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.

Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.

Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB mouse,
you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the touchpad. If
you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.

Remove the card (such as PC card, ExpressCard, and Smart Card) if not using
it.

Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module (such as
WLAN, Bluetooth, or WWAN).

Turn off the computer when you are not using it.
