Working with the notebook
Using the power-management features
PowerPowerBattery
The notebook uses less power when the available power-managemen t 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 s ame time help protect the environment.
When you close the LCD screen, depending on the setting in Windows, the
notebook au tomatically enters a power saving mode.
