Working with t he notebook
Using the power-management features
PowerPowerBattery
The notebook uses less power when the available power-management features are used. You
will then be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
Power efficiency is increased and environmen tal pollution reduced. By
choosing the best power options, you can make significant savings and
at the same time help protect the en vironment.
When you fold d own and close the LCD screen, depending o n the setting in W indows,
the notebook automatically enters a power saving mode.
Under Windows Vista the Energy saving mode is active as the default setting.
We recommend the follow ing settings:
Function On external p ow er On battery power
Turn off monitor After 10 minutes After 5 minutes
Turn off hard disk(s) After 15 minutes After 10 minutes
Energy saving (S3) After 20 minutes After 15 m inutes
Hibernate mode (S4) After 1 h our After 30 minutes
► Activate the power-management features with Start – (Settings) – Contro l Panel – Mobile PC –
Power Options.
► Activate the screen saver by clicking Start – (Settings) – Control Panel – Appearance and
Personalization – Personalization – Change screen saver.
