Notes on Power Management
Using Power Management
❑ If you find that an application exhibits unexpected behavior (such as reduced
video quality) after returning from a power saving mode, you should close
that application before your computer enters a power saving mode.
❑ For maximum audio and video performance, use PowerPanel to select either
the AC Power Profile or the Power Management Off profile.
❑ If your battery level falls to less than 10 percent, you should either attach the
AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a
fully charged battery.
