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 
profiles. Using one of these profiles lets you choose between 
maximum power savings and peak system performance. You 
may also set individual power-saving options to suit your 
own needs.

When the battery runs low you can

:

❖

Plug the computer into an external power source and 
recharge the battery.

❖

Put the computer in Hibernate mode and replace the 
battery with a charged spare.

❖

Save your work and turn off the computer.

If you do not manage to do any of these things before the 
battery completely runs out of power, the computer 
automatically enters Hibernate mode and turns itself off. 
Hibernate mode keeps track of where you were so, when you 
turn on the power again, you can continue where you left off. 

The computer stores the information on what you were doing 
until the battery runs out of power. If you have Hibernate 
mode enabled (the default), the computer copies the details of 
your open programs and files to the hard disk before shutting 
down.

Your computer can be configured to warn you when the 
battery is running low.
