User's Manual
A microprocessor in the computer's intelligent power
supply detects the battery's charge and calculates the
remaining battery capacity. It also protects electronic
components from abnormal conditions, such as voltage
overload from an AC adaptor. You can monitor
remaining battery capacity. Use the Battery remaining
item in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
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
display panel is closed and turns it back on when the
panel is opened. You can specify the setting in the When
I close the lid item of the Setup Action 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 Action 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.
Maximum Turns on fan first, then if necessary
Performance lowers CPU processing speed.
Battery Lowers the CPU processing speed
optimized first, then if necessary turns on the fan.
Using the acceleration sensor built in the computer, HDD
Protection detects vibration, shocks, and those signs in
the computer, and automatically moves the HDD (Hard
Disk Drive) head to the safe position to reduce the risk of
damage that could be caused to the disk by head-to-
head contact. Refer to the Using the Hard Disk Drive
(HDD) Protection section in Chapter 4,
Basics, for details.
