3.Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options.

By default, the power scheme is configured to SAMSUNG mode. SAMSUNG mode extends the battery life and optimizes the Intel Speedstep function. Since the CPU power consumption is automatically optimized to conserve power when the computer is operating on battery power, an application may be executed slower than when it is operating on AC power.To use SAMSUNG mode after reinstalling Windows, install the PowerCFG program using the system software CD.

4.Select the time that you wish each of the following actions to occur in Battery and AC power mode.

•Turn off monitor•Turn off hard disks•System standby•System hibernates

Turning off the monitor and HDDs will save a substantial amount of battery power, therefore when in battery only mode select the shortest time practical.

You can schedule your system for shutdown, hibernation or standby modes by clicking System > Computer Scheduling of the EasyBox program ((p28)).

Hibernate Mode (Power Management or Manual Method)

When hibernation is used, your computer turns off and when you power up again, everything is restored exactly as you left it—including programs and documents you may not have saved or closed. Everything in memory gets saved to the HDD, and the monitor and hard disk get turned off.
