Changing power settings
You can change the function of the power switch, Standby system key, and
power-saving timers by changing power settings on your convertible tablet PC.
You can customize power settings from the Windows Control Panel by selecting
power schemes, setting power alarms, adjusting advanced power settings, and
activating Hibernate mode.
Power schemes (groups of power settings) let you change power saving options
such as when the display or hard drive is automatically turned off. You can
select one of the defined power schemes or create a custom power scheme.
Alarms can alert you when the battery charge is low.
Advanced power settings let you assign different power saving modes to the power
switch and Standby system key. You can also select which power saving mode
is activated when you close the LCD panel.
Important The processor installed in your convertible tablet PC may
use Intel
®
SpeedStep™ technology to conserve battery
power. A SpeedStep-equipped processor can change its
operating speed according to the power source. Your
convertible tablet PC’s default settings operate the
processor at full speed while connected to AC power and
at reduced speed (which uses less power) while using
battery power. Power schemes also set the speed of an
Intel
®
SpeedStep™-equipped processor.
