Power Management
Your system is compatible with the ACPI power saving system.
The basic power management settings can be found under the following in Windows op-
erating systems: <Settings> <Power Options>. If you have questions, use the Windows
Help function.
Here you can set the behavior separately for various battery charge levels.
Standby: – low energy consumption –
The display is dimmed and the hard disk remains unchanged. The power LED flashes. By
pressing the on/off button, the computer returns to the normal operating state. The user
must log on again.
Sleep: – without power adapter no energy consumption –
The current operating state is saved to the hard disk; the computer is switched off. All open
documents or applications become available again when the computer is switched on.
Switching off the notebook and disconnecting it from the power supply (pulling the plug of
the power adapter) can prevent any energy consumption.
• Note on PC cards:
Never remove a PC card while the system is in save-to-
disk mode. This would deactivate the slot and problems
could arise from a modified system configuration the
next time you start up the computer.
