Using your notebook

Using the power-management features
The notebook uses less power when the power management features are enabled. You will then be
able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
You can also use energy saving modes such as Standby or Hibernate for times when you are not
using your notebook but want to keep coming back to it.
i
If you are connecting to a network, or the Internet, we advise you to turn off the energy
saving modes as they interrupt your connection.
When you are finished working with your notebook we advise you to come out of an
energy saving mode and then turn off as normal.
Never turn off your notebook while it is in an energy saving mode.
If the notebook is in an energy-saving mode mode:
● Do not connect any external devices.
● Do not disconnect any external devices.
● Do not attempt to switch the notebook on if the built-in battery is flat.
● No memory modules may be removed or installed.
● Do not add or remove a PC card.
The operating system uses ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power
management under Windows XP. The energy saving functions can be activated under Start - Control
Panel - Performance and Maintenance - Power Options.
Under Windows, Hibernate is activated by default.
