POWER AND POWERUP MODES Power and Power-Up Modes Maximizing battery operating time A battery's usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a single charge. How long the charge lasts in a battery depends on: ❑ How you configure the computer (for example, whether you enable battery- power saving options). The computer provides a battery save mode, which can be set in TOSHIBA Power Saver, to conserve battery power. This mode has the following options: • CPU Precessing speed • Screen brightness • Cooling Method • System Sleep • System Hibernation • Monitor Power off • HDD Power off ❑ How often and how long you use the hard disk, CD/DVD-ROM drive and the diskette drive. ❑ How much charge the battery contained to begin with. ❑ How you use optional devices, such as an Express Card, to which the battery supplies power. ❑ Enabling Resume mode conserves battery power if you are frequently turning the computer off and on. ❑ Where you store your programs and data. ❑ Closing the display when you are not using the keyboard saves power. ❑ Operating time decreases at low temperatures. ❑ The condition of the battery terminals.
