Toshiba SATELLITE PRO A120 manual Power on password, Instant security, Intelligent power, Supply

Introduction

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 LCD 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 computer’s LCD display panel is closed
	and turns it back on when the computer’s LCD
	display panel is opened. You can specify the
	setting in the When I close the lid item of the
	Setup Actions 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 Actions 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.
HDD Protection	Using the acceleration sensor built in the
	computer, the HDD Protection function detects
	vibration, shocks, and those signs in the
	computer, and automatically moves the HDD
	(Hard Disk Drive) head to the safe position to
	reduce the risk of damage that could be caused
	to the disk by head-to-disk contact. Refer to the
	Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
	section in Chapter 4, Operating Basics, for
	details.
