Using The Power-Management Features; Adjusting System Performance In Microsoft Windows - Fujitsu LIFEBOOK E4511 Operating Manual

Using the power-management features

Battery Power Power
The notebook uses less power when the available power-management features are used. You
will then be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
Power efficiency is increased and environmental pollution reduced. By
choosing the best power options, you can make significant savings and
at the same time help protect the environment.
When you close the LCD screen, depending on the setting in Windows, the
notebook automatically enters a power saving mode.
► Select the power management functions in your Control Panel.
If you need further information about an option, you can get help about most settings
by pressing the key combination
When the notebook is in power-saving mode, the following must be remembered:
During power-saving mode, open data is held in main memory or
in a swap file in the memory module.
Never turn off your notebook while it is in a power saving mode. If the built-in battery is
nearly empty, close the open files and do not go into power saving mode.
If you do not intend to use your notebook for a long period of time:
► Exit power saving mode if necessary via the mouse or keyboard or by switching on the
notebook.
► Close all opened programs and completely shut down the notebook.

Adjusting system performance in Microsoft Windows

Your system is supplied with an optimally adjusted balance between system performance,
fan noise and battery life. If required, you can change the system performance in
mains operation or in battery operation separately by selecting the battery icon in the
Windows taskbar with the Windows Performance Power Slider.
• Maximum system performance increases fan noise and reduces battery life.
• Maximum battery life limits system performance.
