Instant Launch Keys (right edge)

Power4 Gear Key (modes shown below)

The Power4 Gear button toggles power savings between various power saving modes. The power saving modes control many aspects of the Notebook PC to maximize performance versus battery time during various events.

When you are using an AC power adapter, Power4 Gear will switch between three modes in the AC power mode segment. When you remove the AC adapter, Power4 Gear will switch between seven modes in the battery (DC) mode segment. When you remove or apply the AC adapter, Power4 Gear will automatically shift you up or down into the proper mode segment (AC or DC).
