Managing System Power
In the Windows 2000/98 environment, your NEC Versa manages its power resources
using the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) while the system is
powered on using AC or battery (DC) power. ACPI enables the operating system to
manage the power given to each attached device and to turn off a device when not in
use.
Take advantage of the opportunity to manage power on your system to:
Minimize battery drain.
!
Preserve the life of your NEC Versa.
!
Save time. When you return from that urgent call or meeting, you don't have to
!
reboot, just slide the Power button to the right to resume system operation.
