Power and Power-Up Modes
Maximizing battery operating time
A battery’s usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a
single charge.
How long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:
■ How you configure the computer (for example, whether you enable
battery-power saving options). The computer provides a battery save
mode, which can be set in the TOSHIBA Power Saver to conserve
battery power. This mode has the following options:
■
CPU processing speed
■ Screen brightness
■
Cooling method
■ System Standby
■
System Hibernation
■ Monitor power off
■
How often and how long you use the hard disk, optical disc and the
floppy disk drive.
■ How much charge the battery contained to begin with.
■
How you use optional devices, such as a PC Card, to which the battery
supplies power.
■ Enabling Standby Mode conserves battery power if you are frequently
turning the computer off and on.
■
Where you store your programs and data.
■ Closing the display when you are not using the keyboard saves power.
■
Operating time decreases at low temperatures.
■ The condition of the battery terminals. Make sure the battery terminals
stay clean by wiping them with a clean dry cloth before installing the
battery pack.
