Understanding Power Management 4-5
PROLONGING BATTERY LIFE
Use the following guidelines to reduce power consumption
and prolong battery life.
■ Put the system in Suspend mode when you need to leave
the system for a short time but plan to resume working.
Suspend mode uses the least amount of battery power or
AC power, if you are using AC. In Suspend mode, all
operations stop temporarily.
Suspend mode lets you stop working and return to where
you left off.
■ Turn off the system when you are finished using it.
■ Close the Versa P notebook. When you close the note-
book, the LCD panel sensor automatically shuts off
the LCD.
■ Use the Fn F5 key combination or BACKLITE.EXE
to toggle the LCD backlight between standard and
full brightness.
■ Adjust the LCD brightness control to the lowest setting
that is comfortable for viewing.
■ Use the automatic hard disk power-saving function.
Set the timeout to power down the hard disk with
Auto Setup.
■ Use the Fn F8 key combination to turn off the hard disk
if you are not going to use it for awhile.
