Stopping a Calibration
Shut down the computer or select the Stop Calibration button on
the Battery Calibration tab. The Stop Calibration button is visible
only during a calibration.
Using Power Preferences
You can increase, decrease, and allocate the power used by the
computer by setting power preferences.
Increasing power increases performance, while decreasing
power conserves energy and extends the running time from a
battery pack.
By decreasing power to unused components and functions,
you can allocate more power to the components and functions
that you are using.
Many power preferences consist of timeout settings.
A timeout is the period of inactivity before the system
initiates a power change or reduces power to a component.
For example, the computer is preset to initiate Suspend
(Standby) after a period of inactivity. The time interval
between when you stop using the computer and when the
computer initiates Suspend (Standby) is a Suspend (Standby)
timeout.
Depending on your operating system, you can set timeouts
that are specific to various conditions, components, or
procedures as well as specify the duration of those timeouts.
The following tables list power preference procedures that are not
described in your operating system documentation.
For additional power preference options, refer to your
operating system documentation.
For a summary of battery conservation settings that extend the
running time from a single charge, refer to “Conserving
Battery Power” later in this chapter.
