Introduction
Power on password Two levels of password security, supervisor and 
user, are available to prevent unauthorized 
access to your computer.
Instant security A hot key function blanks the LCD screen and 
disables the computer providing data security.
Intelligent power 
supply
A microprocessor in the computer’s intelligent 
power supply detects the battery’s charge and 
calculates the remaining battery capacity. It also 
protects electronic components from abnormal 
conditions, such as voltage overload from an AC 
adaptor. You can monitor remaining battery 
capacity by using the Battery remaining item in 
TOSHIBA Power Saver. 
Battery save mode This feature lets you save battery power. You can 
specify the Power Save Mode in the Profile item 
in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
Panel power on/off This feature turns power to the computer off 
when the computer’s LCD display panel is closed 
and turns it back on when the computer’s LCD 
display panel is opened. You can specify the 
setting in the When I close the lid item of the 
Setup Actions tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
Low battery 
automatic 
hibernation
When battery power is exhausted to the point that 
computer operation cannot be continued, the 
system automatically enters Hibernation and 
shuts down. You can specify the setting in the 
Setup Actions tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
Heat dispersal To protect from overheating, the CPU has an 
internal temperature sensor. If the computer’s 
internal temperature rises to a certain level, the 
cooling fan is turned on or the processing speed 
is lowered. Use the Cooling Method item of the 
Basic Setup tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
HDD Protection Using the acceleration sensor built in the 
computer, the HDD Protection function detects 
vibration, shocks, and those signs in the 
computer, and automatically moves the HDD 
(Hard Disk Drive) head to the safe position to 
reduce the risk of damage that could be caused 
to the disk by head-to-disk contact. Refer to the 
Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection 
section in Chapter 4, Operating Basics, for 
details.
