Computing on the Road

Power-saving Methods
One of the main features of notebook-type computers is that you have the power of
computing away from your home or office. Following is information on how to maximize use
of the battery pack which is necessary for such computing.
Four Important Points
• POINT 1
Be sure to charge your battery before and after use.
• POINT 2
To get the maximum use of your battery, set the power management mode.
• POINT 3
Check to see that you have your AC adaptor with you before leaving your home or
office.
Purchasing a spare battery (CF-VZSU40U) is highly recommended.
• POINT 4
Always watch your battery level!
At the time of purchase, [Power schemes] is set to [Panasonic Power Management], but you
can reduce power consumption using the following method.
When using the battery, the computer can be used for a longer period of time.
Power conservation effects can be achieved even when the AC adaptor is connected.
Change [Power Schemes]
Click [start] - [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Options], and
then set [Power schemes] to [Max Battery].
Power consumption can also be minimized with detailed settings; for example, by
reducing the time setting for [Turn off monitor].
