The Easy Way—Choosing a Battery Save Mode
There are two battery save modes:
❖
Full power provides maximum system performance, while
using the most power.
❖
Low power provides maximum battery life by reducing over-
all system performance.
The following table shows the battery save option settings for both
battery save modes:
There is also a User Setting that lets you set the power-saving
options individually.
You may set the battery save mode with a hotkey, in MaxTime (if
you’re working in Windows 95) or in TSETUP (if you’re working
in MS-DOS). This chapter covers setting the battery save mode
with a hotkey and in MaxTime. Using TSETUP to set the battery
save mode is discussed in “TSETUP” on page 307.
