Selecting a Power Scheme
The Selecting a Power Scheme screen allows you to create, edit, and switch between power schemes. In addition, you can delete power schemes that you
create, but you cannot delete Dell™ QuickSet predefined power schemes (Maximum Battery, Maximum Performance, Presentation, Wireless Disabled, and
Balanced).
All QuickSet power schemes are displayed in a drop-down menu near the center of the screen. The power settings for each scheme are below the name of the
current selection. The power settings are listed separately for when the computer is running on battery or connected to an electrical outlet.
The Power Management Wizard also allows you to associate the display brightness level with a power scheme. You must enable brightness-level power
schemes through QuickSet in order to set the brightness level.
The display brightness, internal network-card activity, and wireless activity features are not available through the Control Panel power schemes. In order to
use of these features, you must set them through QuickSet power schemes.
Setting Battery Alarms and Actions
This screen allows you to enable the low-battery and critical-battery alarms and to change settings for the alarms. For example, you can set the low-battery
alarm to 20 percent to remind you to save work and switch to AC power, and you can set the critical-battery alarm to 10 percent to enter hibernate mode.
From the screen, you can:
l Select whether the alarm will notify you by sound or text.
l Adjust the power level at which you want the alarm to notify you.
l Select how the computer will respond when the alarm notifies you:
NOTE: The Wireless Disabled power scheme disables your wireless activity when your computer is running on battery power or connected to an
electrical outlet or docking device. You must select the power scheme through QuickSet (not Microsoft® Windows®) for the Wireless Disabled power
scheme to work.
NOTE: QuickSet automatically adds the word (QuickSet) after the names of power schemes created using QuickSet.
NOTE: Brightness key combinations only affect the display on your portable computer, not monitors that you attach to your portable computer or
docking device. If your computer is in CRT-only mode and you try to change the brightness level, the Brightness Meter appears, but the brightness level
on the monitor does not change.
