SETP OWER Utilit y

Using the

SETPOWER

utility, you can also set the BatteryPro

power-savings level at any

MS-DOS

prompt. For example, at

the

C:\>

prompt you can type

SETPOWER /Ln

where n is the power-saving level (0 through 4) you want to
use. You can also include this command line in any batch
file (

AUTOEXEC.BAT

) you create to load an application.

Laptop Manager can automatically issue this command if
you configure an application’s loading process using the
Laptop Manager Change Menu.

Note:

SETPOWER

and all other BatteryPro utilities furnished

with your computer are loaded on the hard disk at the
factory under the

UTILS

directory with the

MS-DOS PATH

command already in the

AUTOEXEC.BAT

file.

If you want to know the current and maximum power
levels, at the

C:\>

prompt type

SETPOWER /S

and press Enter.

SETPOWER

displays the current setting, 0

through 4, and the maximum available setting.

Note: You can also use the Dates utility to display the
current setting of BatteryPro.
