User's Manual
This feature lets you save battery power. You can
specify the Power Save Mode in the Profile item
in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
This feature turns power to the computer off
when the computer's LCD display panel is closed
and turns it back on when the computer's LCD
display panel is opened. You can specify the
setting in the When I close the lid item of the
Setup Actions tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
When battery power is exhausted to the point that
computer operation cannot be continued, the
system automatically enters Hibernation and
shuts down. You can specify the setting in the
Setup Actions tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
To protect from overheating, the CPU has an
internal temperature sensor. If the computer's
internal temperature rises to a certain level, the
cooling fan is turned on or the processing speed
is lowered. Use the Cooling Method item of the
Basic Setup tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
Use this to turn the power of the optical disc drive
on or off. Clicking on the Optical Drive Power icon
in the taskbar will turn the power to the optical
disc drive on or off. If the Optical Drive Power is
set to off, the disc tray will not open even if the
eject button is pushed - in this instance the power
to the drive can be turned on by again clicking the
Optical Drive Power icon.
Using the acceleration sensor built in the
computer, the TOSHIBA HDD Protection function
detects vibrations and shocks, and automatically
moves the hard disk drive's read/write head to a
safe position to reduce the risk of damage that
could be caused by head-to-disk contact. Refer to
the Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
section in Chapter 4, Operating Basics, for
details.
