Using TOSHIBA eco Mode This computer is equipped with TOSHIBA eco Mode. Operating the computer in this mode reduces electrical power consumption by slightly lowering system performance. For example, in eco Mode the brightness of the display is reduced and the interval before Sleep mode takes effect is shortened. The TOSHIBA eco Utility monitors your power savings from using eco Mode by tracking real-time power consumption and accumulated savings over time. To learn how to access the utility, see "TOSHIBA eco Utility" on page 159. For more information on eco Mode, please see the Help file in the eco Utility. Changing the main battery When your main battery has run out of power, you have two options: plug in the AC adaptor or install a charged main battery. Never short circuit the battery pack by either accidentally or intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact with another conductive object. This could cause serious injury or fire, and could also damage the battery pack and computer. ❖ Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or pressure. The battery pack's internal protective device could fail, causing it to overheat or ignite, resulting in caustic liquid leakage, or explosion or fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury. TECHNICAL NOTE: To avoid losing any data, save your files and then either completely shut down your computer or put it into Hibernation mode before changing the main battery.
