Batteries and Power Management

Managing Power Consumption

Managing Power Consumption

When you’re running your computer on battery power, you will want to maximize operating time without compromising performance. Your computer is designed to help you reduce power consumption and extend battery life without needing to turn it off.

During idle periods, the computer automatically enters power-saving modes after specified timeout periods. You can adjust these timeouts to suit your working habits.

You can manually send the computer into a power-saving mode at any time by pressing the appropriate key—see “To manage power manually” on page 52.
