 | 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 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. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | Optical media drive | Use this to turn the power of the optical media | 
| 
 | power icon | drive on or off. Clicking on the optical media drive | 
| 
 | 
 | icon on the taskbar will turn the power of the | 
| 
 | 
 | optical media drive on or off. If the optical media | 
| 
 | 
 | drive power is off, the disc tray will not open even | 
| 
 | 
 | if the eject button is pushed. The power of the | 
| 
 | 
 | optical media drive can be turned on using the | 
| 
 | 
 | optical media drive icon. | 
| 
 | 
 | 
 | 
| 
 | HDD Protection | Using the acceleration sensor built in the | 
| 
 | 
 | computer, HDD Protection 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 | 
| 
 | 
 | |
| 
 | 
 | Disk Drive (HDD) Protection section in Chapter 4, | 
| 
 | 
 | Operating Basics, for details. |
