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.

Toshiba has combined these options into preset power usage 
modes or profiles. 

In Windows XP, you can choose from predefined power 
profile or select your own combination of power management 
options. The following steps describe this procedure.

If you try to use the power management feature in Windows, a 
message tells you to close the Microsoft power options and 
use the Toshiba Power Saver instead.

Open the Start menu, click Control Panel, then 
Performance and Maintenance.

Click on the Toshiba Power Saver icon. 

Select an appropriate profile for your work environment, 
or create your own custom profile.
