Changing notebook power
settings
You can change the function of your notebook’s
power button, Sleep system key, and power-saving
timers by changing power settings on your notebook.
You can customize power settings from the Windows
Mobility Center by selecting power plans and
adjusting advanced power settings.
Changing the power plan
Power plans
(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 plans or create a custom power
plan.
Three power plans are pre-defined for you:
•
Balanced
- This is the default power plan which
balances performance and battery life.
•
Power saver
- This power plan sacrifices
performance in order to extend battery life. Use
this plan if you will be away from AC power
outlets for an extended period of time. Your
programs may run slower than you are
accustomed to under the other two power plans.
