Using Mobile Mode Switch
Your computer is equipped with the mobile mode switch allowing you to extend
battery life. When your computer is in mobile mode, it automatically controls system
power consumption: by reducing CPU performance and decreasing screen brightness.
The control will make the battery life longer.

Mobile Mode
Use your computer in mobile mode to obtain longer battery life when needed. The
mobile mode provides the second lowest screen brightness.
Normal Mode
Use your computer in normal mode when you do not need to power down CPU
performance even on battery operation.
• The mobile switch does not work when your computer is powered by
the AC power source.
• The screen brightness can be increased by pressing the F7 key while
holding down the Fn key. Be sure that screen brightness and battery
life are in inverse proportion to one another. The maximized screen
brightness will cause shorter battery life.
• The screen brightness can be adjusted respectively in mobile mode and
normal mode.
• Mobile mode may cause an animation to produce an irregular motion
or frame dropouts since the CPU performance is reduced.
