Using Power Schemes
You can set and use power schemes only when the notebook is in
Windows.
A power scheme controls the amount of power the notebook uses
while running on external power or on a battery pack, and also
sets the notebook to initiate standby or hibernation after a period
of inactivity you specify.
» To select a preset power scheme or create a custom power
scheme, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options, and then follow the
instructions on the screen.
