Power Management (Power Options)
Your notebook offers automatic and user selectable power-saving and energy functions
that can be used to optimise battery life and reduce the overall operating costs.
9.5.4. Energy Saving Tips
• Utilize the
Fn
+
F1
sleep mode keys to turn into power saving mode.
• Tune the settings in Power Options to optimise the computer’s power
management.
• Always disconnect the AC power cord or switch off the wall socket if the
computer would be left unused for a certain time to
achieve zero energy consumption.
The power management feature allows the computer to initiate a lower-power or
“Sleep” mode after a period of user inactivity.
To take advantage of these potential energy savings, the power management
feature has been preset to behave in the following ways when the system is
operating on AC power:
• Turn off the display after 10 minutes
• Initiate Sleep after 30 minutes
when the system is operating on DC power:
• Turn off the display after 5 minutes
• Initiate Sleep after 15 minutes
The notebok exits Sleep when the On/Off button is pressed.
9.5.5. ECO Mode
You will be able to save energy and extend the running time of your battery by
deliberately activating functions. The ECO mode is switched on by means of the
Fn+F4
key combination.
