and exit modem applications when you are not using them.
■ Disconnect external devices that you are not using if they are
not plugged into an external power source.
■ Stop or remove any optional external media cards that you are
not using.
■ Remove a CD or DVD that you are not using.
■ Disable or remove an inserted digital card.
■ Use the fn+f7 hotkeys to reduce screen brightness.
■ Use optional powered speakers instead of the internal
speakers.
■ Turn off a device connected to the S-Video-out jack.
■ If you leave your work, initiate standby or hibernation, or
shut down the computer.
