WHAT IS POWER MANAGEMENT?
Power Management in the Versa P lets you conserve
energy, save battery power, extend the life of your LCD
backlight, and protect against data loss due to low
battery power.
You can set some features to function automatically or
activate them manually with the keyboard or a button.
It is wise to keep your Power Management features enabled,
even when using AC power.
