eco Utility
This computer is equipped with "eco mode". This mode slightly lowers
performance of some devices to reduce electric power consumption. You
can realize measurable power savings by using it continuously.
eco Utility helps control the power consumption of your computer. It also
provides information that can help you understand your degree of
contribution to the preservation of the environment.
In addition, this utility provides the Peak shift function that can help reduce
power usage during periods of peak demand by shifting some power
consumption to periods when demand is lower.
The utility also supports "eco Charge Mode". The battery will not be fully
charged in this mode, which extends the life cycle of the battery. It is
recommended that you use the computer with the AC adaptor connected
whenever possible as the battery operating time is comparatively short in
this mode. Depending on the usage situation, the life cycle of the battery
might not be extended properly.
