Conserving battery power
Toshiba’s power-saving options greatly increase the length of time
you can use the computer before you need to recharge the battery.
Toshiba has combined these options into three preset power usage
modes:
❖ Long Life — This option provides you with the most efficient
power usage, prolonging the time you can use your battery
before you have to recharge or replace it.
❖ Normal — This option provides average power usage, where
the battery will need to be replaced or recharged sooner than
the Long Life option.
❖ High Power — This option uses optimum power to run your
computer, therefore, you will need to replace or recharge the
battery more often than with the Long Life and Normal power
usage options.
The procedure for setting up your system to run more efficiently
and prolong the time you can use a battery involves selecting
options from two utilities:
❖ Toshiba Hardware Setup
❖ Power Saver Utility
Using Hardware Setup
The first stage is to select the Toshiba Hardware Setup option:
1 Click Start, point to Control Panel, then double-click
Toshiba Hardware Setup.
The Toshiba Hardware Setup window appears.
