Power Management — Power Saving Tips 

•  The computer will automatically enter suspend mode when not 

used for a set period of time.  

•  Selecting the Stand by button in the Shut Down Windows dialog 

box.  

•  Closing the screen cover (assuming no external monitor has 

been connected).  

•  Pressing the power button (if enabled in power settings).  
•  Pressing the suspend function key <Fn> + <F4>. 

The function of the power button can be set to Shutdown or Standby in 
the Power Management Properties dialog box in the Windows Control 
Panel. However, holding the power button down for more than four 
seconds will force a power off while operating under any situation, 
resulting in the loss of any unsaved information. 

•  Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications 

when using battery power. Operating a fax modem, video, or 
audio equipment increases the computer's power requirements. 

•  Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease 

brightness by pushing <Fn> + <F6>. Increase it by pushing 
<Fn> + <F7>.
