This device is equipped with the eco power plan. Operating
the device with this power plan enabled reduces electrical
power consumption by slightly lowering system
performance. For example, when this power plan is enabled,
the brightness of the display is reduced and the interval
before Sleep mode takes effect is shortened. To enable or
disable the eco power plan, see
