Toshiba’s power-saving options greatly increase the length of 
time you can use the computer before it becomes necessary to 
recharge the battery.
Toshiba has combined these options into preset power usage 
modes. 
To change the power usage mode, hold down both the

 keys. 
What to do when the battery runs low 
When the battery runs low you can
:
Plug the computer into an external power source and 
recharge the battery.
Put the computer in Hibernation mode and replace the 
battery with a charged spare.
Save your work and turn off the computer.
If you don’t manage to do any of these things before the 
battery completely runs out of power, the computer 
automatically enters Hibernation mode and turns itself off. 
Hibernation 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 Hibernation 
mode enabled (the default), the computer copies the details of 
your open programs and files to the hard disk before shutting 
down.
Setting battery alarms
Your computer can be configured to warn you when the 
battery is running low.
You can set multiple alarms. Each alarm can be set to alert 
you when a specified percentage of remaining battery power 
haw been reached. You can set how the warning occurs: 
sound an alarm, display a message, both, or none. You can
