Monitoring battery power
❖
Put the computer in Hibernation mode and replace the
battery with a charged spare.
❖
Save your work and turn off the computer.
If you don't manage to do any of these things before the
battery completely runs out of power, the computer
automatically enters Hibernation mode and turns itself off.
Hibernation mode keeps track of where you were so, when
you turn on the power again, you can continue where you left
off.
The computer stores the information on what you were doing
until the battery runs out of power. If you have Hibernation
mode enabled (the default), the computer copies the details of
your open programs and files to the hard disk before shutting
down.

Setting battery alarms

Your computer can be configured to warn you when the
battery is running low.
You can set multiple alarms. Each alarm can be set to alert

mode or to completely power down when the alarm goes off.

1 Click Start, the click Control Panel.
2 Double-click the Toshiba Power Management icon.
