Notes on Power Management
Using Power Management
❑If you find that an application exhibits unexpected behavior (such as reduced video quality) after returning from a power saving mode, you should close that application before your computer enters a power saving mode.
❑For maximum audio and video performance, use PowerPanel to select either the AC Power Profile or the Power Management Off profile.
❑If your battery level falls to less than 10 percent, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully charged battery.
