Using the power-management features

The notebook uses less power when the power management features are enabled. You will then be
able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
If you are connected to a network or use an integrated modem, PC LAN card, or PC
i
modem card, we advise against enabling an energy saving mode. This could lead to an
interruption of your network connection.
When not using the notebook for long periods of time, first end the energy saving mode,
then switch off the notebook. Never switch off the notebook with the ON/OFF switch while
the notebook is in one of the energy-saving modes.
If your notebook is in an energy-saving mode:
● Do not connect any external devices.
● Do not disconnect any external devices.
● Do not attempt to switch the notebook on if the built-in battery is flat.
● Do not add or remove RAM.
● Do not add or remove a PC card.
When you close the lid, the notebook automatically enters an energy-saving mode.
The energy saving functions can be activated under Start - Control Panel - Performance and
Maintenance - Power Options. Under Windows, Hibernate is activated by default.
