Working with the n o tebook
Using the power-management features
PowerPowerBattery
The notebook uses less power when the available power-management features are used. You
will then be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
Power efficiency is increased and environmental pollution reduced. By
choosing the best power options, you can make significant savings and
at the same time help protect the environment.
When you fold down and close the LC D screen, depending on the setting in Windows,
the notebook automatically enters a power saving mode.
We recommend the fo llowing settings:
Function On external po wer On battery power
Turn off monitor After 10 minutes After 5 minutes
Turn off hard disk(s) After 15 minutes After 10 minutes
Energy saving (S3) After 20 minutes After 15 minutes

When the notebook is in po wer-saving mode, the following must be remembered:
During powe r saving mode, open files are held in the main memory
orinaswapfi le on the hard disk.
Never turn off your notebook while it is in a power saving mode. If the built-in battery is
nearly flat, close the open files and do not go into power s aving mode.
If you do not intend to use your note book for a long period of time:
