CHAPTER 5: Managing Power Changing convertible notebook power settings You can change the function of your convertible notebook's power button, Standby system key, and power-saving timers by changing power settings on your convertible notebook. You can customize power settings from the Windows Control Panel by selecting power schemes, setting power alarms, adjusting advanced power settings, and activating Hibernate mode. Changing the power scheme Power schemes (groups of power settings) let you change power saving options such as when the display or hard drive is automatically turned off. You can select one of the defined power schemes or create a custom power scheme. The processor installed in your convertible notebook may use technology to conserve battery power. This processor can change its operating speed according to the power source. Your convertible notebook's default settings operate the processor at full speed while connected to AC power and at reduced speed (which uses less power) while using battery power.
