2.1.1EnergyCut

The notebook computer has a series of automatic adjustable power-saving facilities called EnergyCut. EnergyCut tries to change some system components from high power consumption to lower level, thus ensuring the computer runs with higher performance and lower EnergyCut. This computer has built-in EnergyCut. It can force the computer to operate in standby, hibernation mode under pre-defined conditions. Using the EnergyCut properly can extend the battery operating time.

This computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) EnergyCut standard. ACPI also needs the Operating System which supports ACPI (such as: Microsoft Windows ME￿ Microsoft Windows 2000￿Microsoft Windows XP) to take effect.

In Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 2000, ACPI will overlay the BIOS EnergyCut settings and take over the computer EnergyCut.

Refer to the Microsoft Windows guide for details, or use online support.

Under pure DOS system, the BIOS directly controls the EnergyCut.
