You can set two alarms. Each alarm can be set to alert you 
when a specified percentage of remaining battery power has 
been reached. You can set how the warning occurs: sound an 
alarm, display a message, both, or none. You can also set the 
computer to enter Standby mode or Hibernation mode or to 
completely power down when the alarm goes off.

To change the default alarm settings:

Click Start, Control Panel, Performance and 
Maintenance, and then Toshiba Power Saver. 

Click the Setup Action tab.

Configure the Alarm settings to suit your needs.

How long a fully charged battery pack lasts when you are 
using the computer depends on a number of factors, such as:

❖

How the computer is configured

❖

How much you use the hard disk, DVD-ROM or multi-
function drive, diskette drives, or other optional devices

❖

Where you are working, since operating time decreases at 
low temperatures

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

❖

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

❖

Use Toshiba’s power-saving options

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.
