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 sign ificant savings and
at the same time help p ro tect the environment.
When you close the LCD screen, depending on the setting in Window s, the
notebook automatically enters a powe r saving mode.
We recommend the follow ing se ttings:

When the notebook is in power-saving mode, the fo llow in g must be rememb ered:
During power saving mode, open files are held in the main memory

nearly empty, close the open files and do not go into power saving mode.
If you do not intend to use your noteboo k for a long period of t ime:
