Working with the Tablet PC

Using the power-management features

The Tablet PC uses less power when the power management features are enabled. 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 significant savings and at the same time help protect the environment.

We recommend the following settings:

or

Keep a finger pressed on the desktop. Configure the screensaver under Personalization - Change screensaver.

If you need further information about an option, you can get help with most settings by pressing the ? symbol in the upper right of the screen to open the Microsoft Help.

When the Tablet PC is in power saving mode, you must remember the following:

During power saving mode, open files are held in the main memory or in a swap file on the hard disk.

Never switch off the Tablet PC while it is in a power saving mode. If the built-in battery is nearly flat, close the open files and do not go into power saving mode.

If you do not intend to use your Tablet PC for a long period of time:

Exit the power saving mode if necessary via touching the screen or by switching on the Tablet PC.

Close all opened programs and completely shut down the Tablet PC.
