Working with the notebook
Using the power-management features
PowerPowerBattery
The no tebook uses less power when the available power-managemen t 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 e nvironmental pollution reduced. By
choosing the best power options, you can m ake s ignificant savings and
at the same time help protect th e environment.

notebook automatically enters a power saving mode.
