The Power Setting is set to BatteryMgr-Normal Mode. BatteryMgr-Normal Mode
extends the battery use time when using battery power, and optimizes the Intel
Speedstep feature. Since it automically optimizes the processing speed of the
system to minimize power consumption, you may experience slower operations
when using battery power than when using AC power. To use BatteryMgr-Normal
mode in the Windows system, please install the Battery Manager program by
using the System Software Media.
