Selecting automatic profiles when running on batteries
A power profile is a set of timer values for a variety of system devices. PowerPanel automatically selects the
profile associated with the application you are using and changes profiles as you switch between
applications.
Power management lets your system enter energy saving modes by levelling some energy-consuming
parameters, such as LCD brightness, or hard disk activity.
To select automatic profiles, proceed as follows:
1
Right-click the PowerPanel icon in the taskbar and select
Profiles
.
2
Select
Automatic Profile Selection
✍
The
Automatic Profile Selection
feature deactivates when you manually select another Power Profile from the menu.
