Utilities

TOSHIBA Hardware Setup

CPU—Allows you to enable or disable CPU frequency
switching modes

Dynamically Switchable—This mode is the default setting for
your computer, and automatically changes the processing
frequency and decreases voltage depending on the power
source:

AC Power—If your computer is connected to the AC
adaptor, the CPU frequency mode is set to high for faster
processing.

Battery Power—If your computer is running on battery
power, the CPU frequency mode is set to low for slower
processing. Switching the CPU to low allows you to
conserve power and extend the operating time of your
battery.

Always Low—Sets the CPU speed to low when using either
the battery or the AC adaptor

Display—Allows you to change various default settings for the
built-in display

When the computer restarts, it remembers the last configuration. If

Sleep mode, press

Fn + F5
