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.
Do not disable Power Management. Choose a power plan that saves power
when using Windows. A power plan is a collection of hardware and system
settings that control how your computer manages power.
Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
Shorten the length of time before Windows turns 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 disk, unplug it when you are not using it.
Turn off the WLAN feature if you are not using it. (See Chapter 2.)
Turn off the computer when you are not using it.
