1.1.6 Power Management
Power Management offers three levels of power conservation:
o High: Provides the maximum amount of power conservation and the maximum
battery operating time from a single charge.
o Medium: Provides a balance between performance and battery life (factory
default).
o Custom: Conserves power according to user-specified timeout settings.
The conservation level sets the timeouts for Standby (Suspend),
Hibernation, drives, and screens. Use the Fn+F7 hotkeys to toggle off and
on the power management settings in Computer Setup and Windows Power
Properties.
Selecting to disable the infrared port under the Security menu also
conserves power.
