Power Management Tips
l Connect the computer to an electrical outlet when possible because battery life is largely determined by the number of times the battery is charged.
l Place the computer in standby mode or hibernate mode when you leave the computer unattended for long periods of time.
l You can use the Power Management Wizard to configure the computer to enter or exit power management modes by pressing the power button,
closing the display, or pressing <Fn><Esc>.
Power Management Wizard
Click or double-click the icon to open the Power Management Wizard.
The first two screens of the wizard—Welcome and What is Power Management?—describe and define various power management options.
Use the screens that follow Welcome and What is Power Management? to set various power management options, including sleep modes, power schemes,
and low battery-charge alarms.

l Set standby-mode password options.

NOTE: See "Using a Battery" for more information on conserving battery power.
CAUTION: YourcomputerfeaturesUndock&Go™technologythatallowsyoutoundockyourcomputerwithoutgoingintoStandbyMode.Because
the computer may not automatically go into Standby Mode when it is undocked, be sure the settings in the Power Options control panel do not
prohibit the computer from going into Standby Mode. If you change the Power Options control panel to prohibit the computer from going into
Standby Mode, you greatly increase the chances of causing your battery to wear down quickly or causing your computer to overheat.
NOTE: The Power Management Wizard is not available if you have restricted access rights.
NOTE: On the What is Power Management? screen, you can select Do not show this page again. When you select this option, the Welcome screen
also does not appear again.
