Using BIOS Setup to Set Power Management

Power Management Setup allows you to use the factory-defined power savings
level (Longest Life), or choose between High Perform, Custom, or Off. Each
provides a special value to your current work effort. These power management
levels were designed with you in mind. For example, you can use them under
the following circumstances:
n
Longest Life — Provides best battery life and good performance. Use
while travelling long distances.
n
High Perform — Provides best performance and good battery life. Use
while on the road or travelling short distances.
n
Custom — Lets you decide! Set power management levels according to
your own needs and present environment.
n
Off — Works well in an office environment while powering your Versa
SX with AC power.

special file on your hard disk.
Using STF can benefit you in the following ways.

When in STF, there is minimum battery drain.
n
