Advanced Power Management
This computer supports the APM standard designed to further reduce power
consumption. APM is a power-management approach defined jointly by
Microsoft and Intel. An increasing number of software packages support APM
to take advantage of its power-saving features and allows greater system
availability without degrading performance.
For more information about APM under Windows 95, refer to your Windows
95 user’s manual.
Note: If you enable heuristic power management in Setup without APM
installed and enabled (true by default), the system time and date do
not display the correct settings after the computer returns to normal
operation from Standby or Hibernation mode. To update the time
and date, reboot the computer. APM should be enabled to avoid this
problem. Advanced Power Management greatly prolongs battery
life. Use APM whenever possible.
