Power Management
Your PlaneBook™ has many options and features for
conserving battery power. Some of these features
are automatic and need no user intervention.
However, others depend on the parameters you set
to best suit your operating conditions, such as those
for the display brightness. Internal power
management for your notebook may be controlled
from settings made in your operating system and/or
pre-bundled power management applications.
Besides the options available for conserving battery
power, there are also some things that you can do to
prevent your battery from running down too quickly.
For example, you can create an appropriate power-
saving profile, put your notebook into Standby mode
when it is not performing an operation, and limit the
use of high-power devices. As with all mobile,
battery-powered computers, there is a trade-off
between performance and power savings.
Power/Suspend/Resume Button
When your notebook is active, the
Power/Suspend/Resume button can be used to
manually put the notebook into Standby mode. Push
the Power/Suspend/Resume button when the
notebook is active, but not actively accessing
anything, and immediately release the button.
If your notebook is suspended, pushing the
Power/Suspend/Resume button returns your
notebook to active operation. You can tell whether
the system is Suspended by looking at the Power
indicator. If the indicator is visible and not flashing,
your notebook is fully operational. If the indicator is
visible and flashing, your notebook is in Standby
mode.
