Introduction

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keypad overlay

A ten-key pad is integrated into the keyboard.

 

 

Refer to the Keypad overlay section in Chapter 5,

 

 

The Keyboard, for instructions on using the

 

 

keypad overlay.

 

 

 

 

Power on password

Two levels of password security, supervisor and

 

 

user, are available to prevent unauthorized

 

 

access to your computer.

 

 

 

 

Instant security

A hot key function blanks the screen and disables

 

 

the computer providing data security.

 

 

 

 

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 by using 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 Cooling Method item of the

 

 

Basic Setup tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

 

 

 

 

Hibernation

This feature lets you turn off the power without

 

 

exiting from your software. The contents of main

 

 

memory are saved to the hard disk, when you

 

 

turn on the power again, you can continue

 

 

working right where you left off. Refer to the

 

 

Turning off the power section in Chapter 3,

 

 

Getting Started, for details.
