Introduction

Utilities

This section describes pre-installed utilities and tells how to start them.

For details on operations, refer to each utility’s online manual, help files or

readme.txt files.

Heat dispersal

model you

To protect from overheating, the CPU has an

internal temperature sensor. If the computer’s

internal temperature rises to a certain level, the

cooling fan is turned on or the processing speed

is lowered. Use the Fan item of the Basic Setup

tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

CPU processing speed.

Battery optimized

processing speed first,

then if necessary turns

Hibernation

This feature lets you turn off the power without

exiting from your software. The contents of main

memory are saved to the hard disk so that when

you turn on the power again, you can continue

working right where you left off. Refer to the

Turning off the power

section in Chapter 3,

Getting Started

, for details.

Standby

If you have to interrupt your work, you can turn off

the power without exiting from your software.

Data is maintained in the computer's main memory

so that when you turn on the power again, you can

continue working right where you left off.

Please note that the descriptions for starting some Utilities are based on

setting the Control Panel to Category View. On Classic view the

description is different.
