Using the power-
management features
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 efficiency is increased and
environmental pollution reduced. By
choosing the best power options, you can
make significant savings and at the same
time help protect the environment.
When you fold down and close the LCD screen,
depending on the setting in Windows, the
notebook automatically enters a power saving
mode.
We recommend the following settings:
If you need further information about an
option, you can get help with most settings
by pressing
to open the Miscrosoft
Help.
If your notebook is in a power saving mode,
be sure to remember the following:
During power saving mode, open files are
held in the main memory or in a swap file
on the hard disk.
Never turn off your notebook while it is in a
power saving mode. If the built-in battery is
nearly flat, close the open files and do not
go into power saving mode.
If you do not intend to use your notebook for
a long period of time:
•
Exit power saving mode if necessary via the
mouse or keyboard or by switching on the
notebook.
•
Close all opened programs and completely
shut down the notebook.
