Advanced Power Management - Acer Extensa 390 User Manual

Operating on Battery Power

2.2.2 Advanced Power Management

This computer supports the APM standard
designed to further reduce power consumption.
APM is a power-management approach defined
jointly by Microsoft and Intel. An increasing
number of software supports APM to take
advantage of power saving features and allows
greater system availability without degrading
performance.
For more information about APM under Windows
95, refer to your Windows 95 user's manual.
Notes:
If you enable heuristic power management in
Setup without APM installed and enabled, the
system time and date do not display the correct
settings after the computer returns to normal
operation from standby or hibernation mode. To
update the time and date, reboot the computer.
APM should be enabled to avoid this problem.
Advanced Power Management greatly prolongs
battery life. Use APM whenever possible.
