Power Menu

The Power menu of the Setup program allows you to manually enable and adjust certain power saving
features of the Notebook PC, which are necessary for systems without APM or ACPI. For Windows 98
with APM or ACPI, all power saving controls (except "Suspend Mode") are made through the operat-
ing system. Enabling these features will extend the life of the battery pack between charges. To make
changes to power management settings, select Power Savings from the menu bar. The following menu
appears:
Power Management [User Define]
This option must be enabled to use any of the automatic power saving features.
If this menu item is set to Disabled, power management features will not function regardless of other
field settings on this menu. The Customized option allows you to make your own selections in the
Power menu. When set to Maximum Power Savings, system power will be conserved to its greatest
amount. The next four fields will then be set to predefined values that ensure maximum power savings.
When this field is set to Maximum Performance, best system performance is achieved with some
power conservation. The next four fields will then be set to predefined values that ensure maximum
power savings
The configuration options are: [User Define] [Disabled] [Min Saving] [Max Saving]
