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 98 or
Windows 95, refer to your Windows 98 or 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.
