Chapter 4: Managing Power Use 51
Managing power
A battery-powered session for your notebook is affected by many things
such as using screen savers rather than the suspend function, or playing
music CD-ROMs while using a word processor. If no AC power outlet is
available, you want to make the battery-powered session last as long as
possible.
Power management is handled differently in Windows 98 than in Windows
95 and Windows NT. The following two sections address these differences.
Refer to the section that applies to your operating system.

To modify your power management settings in Windows 98, you do not
need to go into the BIOS program unless you want to change the power
button setting specifically. Instead, Windows 98 now includes a Power
Management Properties dialog box.
