Power conservation
Your PowerBook keeps track of what power source you are using and can
change the power conservation settings to maximize battery conservation and
performance for both the battery and the power adapter.
To cha nge the power conservation settings, follow these steps:
1Choose Control Panels from the Apple (
K
) menu, and open the PowerBook control
panel. (Or use the Power Settings module in the Control Strip to open the PowerBook
control panel.)
2Slide the switch to Custom.
3If necessary, click the Auto button to select it.
When Auto is selected, the computer will automatically use the settings you
specify in step 5 whenever the selected power source is being used. (You can
temporarily override your settings by returning to the PowerBook control
panel and selecting Manual.)
4Choose the power source in the pop-up menu.
5 Drag the sliders to the settings you want for the selected power source.
To use the preset power conservation settings for the selected power source,
click Default. See “Adjusting the Battery Conservation Settings” earlier in this
section for more help.
