Icon Action
Adaptive
This control automatically selects the CPU optimal clock
speed and power voltage according to the state in which
the computer is used. This will be the default icon when
the computer is connected to the mains supply.
Battery Life
This control helps to reduce the notebook’s power
consumption by decreasing the CPU clock speed and the
power voltage. This icon appears when you right-click the
CPU icon in the taskbar and select Profiles and then
Ultimate Battery Life. This will be the default icon when
the computer running on batteries.
Performance
This control helps to maximize the CPU clock speed. The
computer can then be used at its maximum performance.
This will be the default icon when playing games or
watching a DVD.
