Power Schemes Tab

The Power schemes drop-down menu displays the selected preset power 
scheme. Keep the default Portable/Laptop power scheme to maximize 
battery power.

Windows XP controls the performance level of the processor depending on 
the power scheme you select. You do not need to make any further 
adjustments to set the performance level. For information on setting 
processor performance for other operating systems, see "Intel SpeedStep

Technology Tab."

Each preset power scheme has different time-out settings for entering 
standby mode, turning off the display, and turning off the hard drive. For 
more information on power management options, see the Help and Support 
Center (Windows Help in Windows 2000).

Alarms Tab

 NOTE: To enable audible 

alarms, click each Alarm 

Action button and select 

Sound alarm.

The Low battery alarm and Critical battery alarm settings alert you with a 
message when the battery charge falls below a certain percentage. When 
you receive your computer, the Low battery alarm and Critical battery 
alarm check boxes are selected. It is recommended that you continue to use 
these settings. See "

" for more information on low-battery 

warnings.

Power Meter Tab

The Power Meter tab displays the current power source and amount of 
battery charge remaining.
