Power Options
You can change many default power settings in Windows Control
Panel. For example, you can set an audio alert to warn you when
the battery pack reaches a low-power condition, or you can
change the default settings for the power/standby button.
By default, when the notebook is on:
■
Pressing the
operating system, initiates standby.
■
The display switch turns off the display and initiates standby.
The display switch is activated by closing the display. (By
default and when using custom settings, the display switch
setting is standby mode.)
