Working with the Tablet PC
Using the energy saving functions

The Tablet PC uses less power when the energy saving features are enabled. You will then
be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
The energy efficiency is increased and environmental pollution is reduced.
By choosing the best power options, you can make signi ficant savings and
at the same time help protect the environment.
