Managing Power Consumption
When you are not using your computer, you will want to maximize battery
operating time without compromising performance. It is not necessary to turn the
computer off in order to reduce power consumption and extend battery life.
With Windows 98, Advanced Power Management (APM) provides both manual and
automated tools for reducing power consumption.
•
Power management options may be invoked manually at any time by pressing
the appropriate key. See “To use manual power management” on page 50.
•
Power management options can also be set to occur automatically, based on
timeout values that you have entered. See Managing Power Consumption in the
online User’s Guide.
To use manual power management with Windows 98
You can shut down your OmniBook manually whenever you need to with any of the
following three levels of shutdown.
Note Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95: Consult OmniBook Notes and the OmniBook
