There are various ways in which you can conserve power and 
extend the operating time of your battery:

❖

Enable Sleep or Hibernation, which saves power when you turn 
off the computer and turn it back on again

❖

Use the Windows

®

 power-saving option plans

These power-saving options control the way in which the computer 
is configured. By using them, you can increase the length of time 
you can use the computer before you need to recharge the battery.

Microsoft

®

 has combined these options into preset Power Plans. 

Using one of these power plans 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 Plan and 
discuss each power-saving option.

You can choose a predefined Power Plan or select your own 
combination of power options. To do this:

Click Start, Control Panel, Mobile PC, and then Power 
Options. 

The Windows

®

 Power Options window appears.

Select an appropriate plan for your work environment or create 
your own custom plan.
