One of the main features of notebook-type computers is that you have the power of
computing away from your home or office. In the following, information is provided on
how to maximize use of the battery pack which is necessary for such computing.

Conserving Power
Things to Remember
Be sure to charge your battery before and after use.
To get the maximum use of your battery, set the power man-
agement mode.
POINT

Check to see that you have your AC adapter with you before
leaving your home or office.
Purchasing a spare battery (CF-VZSU09) and the optional bat-
tery charger (CF-VCB251A) is highly recommended.
Always watch your battery level!

with
By repeatedly pressing the keys to maximize the brightness (

played), following this, if the keys are pressed again, the brightness will be mini-
mized, thereby lowering the power consumption.
Before stepping away from your computer, press Fn + F10
to put your computer in the ECO mode
The ECO mode helps you conserve power by cutting off power to the LCD and
turning off the hard disk motor. To resume, you may press any key.
Setting the suspend/hibernation timeout
(
page 16
)
The suspend or hibernation function (
page 6
) allows you to save power by
automatically cutting off power when the computer is idle or there is no access
to individual devices for 4 or 16 minutes. If [Enable (Always)] is selected for
[Power Management], the suspend/hibernation timeout function will go into ef-
fect for both the battery pack and the AC adapter. If, however, [Enable (Battery)]
is selected for [Power Management], it will go into effect only during operation
by the battery. The ECO mode timeout function is automatically set when [En-
able] is set. Note that the ECO mode timeout precedes the suspend/hiberna-
tion timeout.
It should be noted that for some applications, the suspend/hibernation timeout
will not work properly.
Setting the Intel
®
SpeedStep™ technology

You can control power consumption by setting CPU performance separately for
“AC adapter connected” and “AC adapter disconnected (i.e., running on batter-
ies).”
