Mobile Computing

This chapter covers all aspects of using your computer while 
traveling.

Toshiba’s energy-saver design

Your computer enters a low-power standby mode when it is 
not being used, thereby conserving energy and saving money 
in the process. It has a number of other features that enhance 
its energy efficiency.

Many of these energy-saving features have been set by 
Toshiba. We recommend you leave these features active, 
allowing your computer to operate at its maximum energy 
efficiency, so that you can use it for longer periods while 
traveling.

Running the computer on battery power

The computer contains a removable nickel-metal hydride 
(NiMH) high-capacity battery that provides power when you 
are away from an AC outlet. You can recharge it many times. 

In addition, the computer has an internal real-time clock 
(RTC) battery. The RTC battery powers the RTC memory,
