Working with the notebook
Using the energy saving functions
If you use the available energy saving functions, the notebook uses less energy. You will then be
able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
This increases the energy efficiency of your system, reducing the effects on the
environment.
If you optimise your use of the power saving options, you can make significant savings
and protect the environment at the same time.

When the notebook is in power-saving mode, the following must be remembered:
Files that are opened when the power-saving mode is enabled are stored in RAM, the
cache or a swapfile on the hard disk.

Never switch the notebook off while it is in an energy saving mode. If the installed battery
is almost empty, you should closed all open files and not enable power-saving mode.
