132 Mobile Computing Monitoring main battery power Setting battery alarms You can set two alarms. Each alarm can be set to alert you when a specified percentage of remaining battery power has been reached. You can set how the warning occurs: sound an alarm, display a message, both, or none. You can also set the computer to enter Standby mode or Hibernation mode or to completely power down when the alarm goes off. To change the default alarm settings: 1 Click Start, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, and then Toshiba Power Saver. The TOSHIBA Power Saver Properties window appears. 2 Click the Setup Action tab. 3 Configure the Alarm settings to suit your needs. Conserving battery power How long a fully charged battery pack lasts when you are using the computer depends on a number of factors, such as: ❖ How the computer is configured ❖ How much you use the hard disk, CD-RW/DVD-ROM or multi-function drive, diskette drives, or other optional devices ❖ Where you are working, since operating time decreases at low temperatures There are various ways in which you can conserve power and extend the operating time of your battery: ❖ Enable Standby or Hibernation, which saves power when you turn off the computer and turn it back on again ❖ Use Toshiba's power-saving options
