If your system is running on APM (Advanced Power Management) mode, you can
switch between these 4 Power Saving Levels by pressing <Fn><F7>. The advantage of
using <Fn><F7> is that you do not have to go through the trouble of entering the SETUP
to switch between these levels. And <Fn><F7> is a cyclical switch that allows you to
loop back to your original setting by pressing <Fn><F7> repeatedly. You would hear the
following beeps when you enter the levels below:
Power Saving Levels Beep Descriptions
Off 1 beep
Custom 2 beeps
High Perform 3 beeps
