You may choose a power-saving management strategy to best suit
your computing needs. If you are running on batteries and the
programs that you are using do not require a lot of system
resources, you may experience longer work sessions by enabling
the Normal setting. Any options that you change become the
active settings when you exit the program. (You do not have to
restart your system before they become active settings.)
