Introduction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Intelligent power

A microprocessor in the computer’s intelligent

 

supply

power supply detects the battery’s charge and

 

 

calculates the remaining battery capacity. It also

 

 

protects electronic components from abnormal

 

 

conditions, such as voltage overload from an AC

 

 

adaptor. You can monitor remaining battery

 

 

capacity. Use the Battery remaining item in

 

 

TOSHIBA Power Saver.

 

 

 

 

 

Battery save mode

This feature lets you save battery power. You can

 

 

specify the Power Save Mode in the Profile item

 

 

in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

 

 

 

 

Panel power on/off

This feature turns power to the computer off

 

 

when the display panel is closed and turns it back

 

 

on when the panel is opened. You can specify the

 

 

setting in the When I close the lid item of the

 

 

Setup Action tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

 

 

 

 

Low battery

When battery power is exhausted to the point that

 

automatic

computer operation cannot be continued, the

 

hibernation

system automatically enters Hibernation and

 

 

shuts down. You can specify the setting in the

 

 

Setup Action tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

 

 

 

 

Heat dispersal

To protect from overheating, the CPU has an

 

 

internal temperature sensor. If the computer’s

 

 

internal temperature rises to a certain level, the

 

 

cooling fan is turned on or the processing speed

 

 

is lowered. Use the Fan item of the Basic Setup

 

 

tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

 

 

Maximum

Turns on fan first, then if

 

 

Performance

necessary lowers CPU

 

 

 

processing speed.

 

 

Performance

Uses a combination of

 

 

 

fan and lowering the

 

 

 

CPU processing speed.

 

 

Battery optimized

Lowers the CPU

 

 

 

processing speed first,

 

 

 

then if necessary turns

 

 

 

on the fan.
