Setting or Changing a Power Scheme
A power scheme controls the amount of power used by the
notebook. You can set power schemes that conserve power while
the notebook is running on battery power and power schemes that
maximize performance while the notebook is running on external
power.
Among the settings that you can use in a power scheme are
settings that specify the time intervals before the system initiates
standby or hibernation.
To select a preset power scheme or to create a custom power
scheme:
»
Select
Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options > Power Schemes
tab, and
then follow the instructions on the screen.
✎
The preset Max Battery power scheme maximizes battery
conservation.
