Using the power-management features
PowerPowerBattery
The notebook uses less po wer 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 en viron ment.
When you fold down and close the LCD screen, depending on the setting in Window s,
the notebook automatically enters a power saving mode.
We recommend the foll owing settings:

When th e notebook is in power-saving mode, the following must be remembered:
During power saving mode, open files are held in the main m emory
