You can change the function of the power button, Standby key, and 
power-saving timers by changing power settings on your notebook.

You can customize power settings from the Windows Control Panel by 
selecting power schemes, setting power alarms, adjusting advanced power 
settings, and activating Hibernate mode.

Power schemes (groups of power settings) let you change power saving options 
such as when the monitor or hard drive is automatically turned off. You can 
select one of the defined power schemes or create a custom power scheme.

Alarms can alert you when the battery charge is low.

Advanced power settings let you assign different power saving modes to the 
power button and Standby key.
