best used for maximum battery time. The Balanced plan is a
compromise between battery time and performance.
Using the TOSHIBA eco power plan
This computer is equipped with the TOSHIBA eco power plan.
Operating the computer with this power plan enabled reduces
electrical power consumption by slightly lowering system
performance. For example, when this power plan is enabled, the
brightness of the display is reduced and the interval before Sleep
mode takes effect is shortened. To enable or disable the TOSHIBA
eco power plan, see “Power Plans” on page 100.
The TOSHIBA eco Utility™ monitors your power savings from
using the eco power plan by tracking real-time power consumption
and accumulated savings over time. To learn how to access the
utility, see “TOSHIBA eco Utility™” on page 136.
For more information on the TOSHIBA eco power plan, see the
Help file in the TOSHIBA eco Utility™ window.
