Procedure 9.1
Configuring General Settings
1
In the General Settings category, decide if the screen should be locked after a
suspend action, so that the user needs to type in his password when the machine
resumes after a suspend.
2
Configure which notification or warnings you want to receive for certain events
like low battery status, or if you want suspend actions to be executed at once or
only after a certain time interval.
3
Decide which power profiles should be applied by default when the system is
running on AC power, on battery, or when the battery is low or at warning level.
4
Click Advanced Battery Settings if you want to fine-tune the battery levels that
are regarded as low or critical or to define which action should be taken at a
critical battery level.
5
For detailed information about the available options, click Help.
6
If all options are set according to your wishes, click Apply.
Procedure 9.2
Configuring Power Management Profiles
Apart from the general settings, you can adjust the default power management profiles
or add new profiles in the Edit Profiles category.
1
Click one of the available profiles in the list to view or change the specific settings
for that profile: which Actions are taken when the lid of the laptop is closed or
the Power or Sleep button is pressed, how much the Screen is dimmed and after
how many minutes the display is turned off automatically. Click CPU and System
to view or change which CPU to turn off (if supported by your machine) or to
set the CPU frequency scaling policy for that profile.
2
Use the icons at the bottom of the list with profiles if you want to add, delete,
import or export power management profiles.
