TOSHIBA Peak Shift	TOSHIBA Peak Shift Control is a function that
Control	can help reduce power usage during periods of
	peak demand by shifting some power
	consumption to periods when demand is lower.
	For instance, in peak hours of power
	consumption such as in the daytime in the
	summer, the power consumed from the AC
	power source is automatically stopped and the
	battery is used for PC operation. The AC power
	can then be used to charge the battery during
	periods where power demand is reduced (such
	as at night), thereby reducing the load during
	peak periods.
	To access the utility, click Start -> All Programs
	-> TOSHIBA -> Tools & Utilities -> Peak Shift
	Control.
	For more information, please refer to the help file.
TOSHIBA PC	The TOSHIBA PC Diagnostic Tool will display
Diagnostic Tool	basic system configuration information and allow
	the functionality of some of the computer's built-
	in hardware devices to be tested.
TOSHIBA Hi-Speed	Hi-Speed Start Mode can make the computer
Start	start up faster than it would start up after a
	system shutdown.

The efficient performance might not be expected with multiple user accounts registered.

Only startup from built-in HDD/SSD supports Hi-Speed Start Mode.
