Saving Time with Multiple Configurations
Home, Office and Travel Configuration buttons
The configuration you choose can affect all aspects of the Panel
including hardware configuration settings, the display of the bat-
tery gauges and the program icons from which you can launch
programs.
Changing Configurations
To change your configuration, click the current configuration but-
ton. A slider bar appears. To change the configuration, click one of
the other buttons.
More Reasons to Use Configurations
There are any number of reasons for using multiple configurations
to simplify using the computer. For example, if you are a student
or an instructor and you use your computer to take notes or to
illustrate your lectures, you might want to decrease the volume of
the battery alarm so as not to interrupt a lecture or discussion.
Later at home, you may want the alarms to sound at full volume.
If one configuration is designed for classroom use and another for
home, all you need to do is click the classroom button and you are
ready to load the program for taking notes or delivering a lecture.
