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

By default, the power scheme is configured to BatteryMgr-normal mode. BatteryMgr-normal 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 BatteryMgr-normal mode after reinstalling Windows, install the Battery Manager program using the system software Media.

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 also reserve Turning Computer Off, Maximum Power Saving Mode, Hold Mode, etc. by selecting System > Computer Scheduling in the EasyBox program. (see “Using EasyBox” on page 36.)

If you change the power settings in the Battery Manager program, the settings of the 'Power Options Properties' window are automatically changed accordingly ('Using the Battery Manager' (p111)).
