Samsung M6000 User’s Manual Using Power Management Options 60
Using Power Management Options
Your computer includes power-management options that can help the
battery charge last longer and extend the life of the battery, LCD panel,
and other components. Power-management options slow down or shut
off system components when the components are not being used.
Power management slows down system performance. Your computer
runs fastest with the AC adapter attached, when no power management
is in effect.
If your computer shipped with Windows 98 installed, Windows 98
Power Management works with the settings in the Power Management
option on the Control Panel. If your computer uses DOS or Windows
95, Power Management works with the settings in System Setup
If your computer shipped from the factory with Windows NT installed,
PowerProfiler power management software was included.
Some applications may require the computer to
run at full speed to operate correctly. If you
experience any problems with an application, try
disabling power management.
When running the computer from the battery,
you can press <Fn+F3> to set the computer to
full speed.
Non-Turbo Mode
In non-turbo (or idle) mode, the microprocessor and hard drive run at
slow speed unless there is user input or device activity. To enable non-
turbo mode, set the Battery Power Saving Mode field in System Setup
to Non-Turbo.
When you touch the touchpad or press a key or when there is device
activity, the computer returns to full-speed (turbo) operation.
