POINT
If using AC power, your LifeBook’s brightness setting is
set to its highest level by default. If using battery power,
the brightness setting is set to its middle level by
default.

The higher the brightness level, the more power the
LifeBook will consume and the faster your batteries will
discharge. For maximum battery life, set the brightness
level as low as possible.
