3.2 Managing Your Power System
3.2.1 Power management
Your notebook computer G-MAX N512 has a built-in power management unit
that monitors system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving
one or more of the following devices: keyboard, mouse, floppy drive, hard disk,
peripherals connected to the serial and parallel ports, and video memory. If no
activity is detected for a period of time, your notebook computer G-MAX N512
stops some or all of these devices in order to conserve energy.
Your notebook computer G-MAX N512 employs a power management scheme
that supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) which
allows for maximum power conservation and maximum performance at the
same time. Windows handles all power-saving chores for your notebook
computer G-MAX N512.
3.2.2 Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enables Windows to
control the amount of power given to each device attached to your notebook
computer G-MAX N512. With ACPI, Windows can turn off peripheral devices
when they are not in use, thereby saving power.
We recommend you enable power management to prolong your
battery life. Refer to Windows help for more details.
3.2.3 Reducing Power Consumption
Although your notebook computer G-MAX N512 (together with the operating
system) is capable of power conservation, there are measures you can take to
reduce the power consumption:
—
Use the AC power whenever possible.
—
Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight. A very bright screen translates to
higher power usage.
—
Try to use the hard disc to read and write files, instead of using the
external USB flash disc drive.
