Selecting a Power Scheme
The screen allows you to select, create, and edit power scheme settings. In addition, you can delete power
schemes that you create, but you cannot delete Dell™ QuickSet predefined power schemes (Maximum
Battery, Maximum Performance, Presentation, and Network Disabled).
All QuickSet power schemes are displayed in a drop-down menu near the center of the screen. The power
settings for each scheme in the menu are listed below the menu. The power settings are listed separately for
when the computer is running on battery or connected to an electrical outlet.
The Power Management Wizard also allows you to associate the display brightness level with a power
scheme. You must enable brightness-level power schemes through QuickSet in order to set the brightness
level.
NOTE: When your computer is running on battery power, the Network Disabled power scheme
disables your internal network and wireless activity. When your computer is connected to an electrical
outlet, the Network Disabled power scheme disables only your wireless activity. You must set the
power scheme through QuickSet (not Microsoft® Windows®) for Network Disabled to work.
NOTE: QuickSet automatically adds the word (QuickSet) after the names of power schemes created
using QuickSet.
