Conserving power
These power-saving options control the way in which the
computer is configured. By using them, you can greatly increase
the length of time you can use the computer before you need to
recharge the battery.
Toshiba has combined these options into preset power usage
modes. Using one of these modes lets you choose between
maximum power savings and peak system performance. You may
also set individual power-saving options to suit your own needs.
The following sections describe how to choose a power usage
