Power Management Properties for Microsoft Windows 98

Windows 98 with Advanced Power Management (APM) provides the Power Management Properties
window for setting power conservation features.

To access the Power Management Properties window and set the power management features, perform
the following steps in Windows 98:

1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control Panel.

2. Double-click the Power Management Properties icon.

The Power Management Properties window contains the following tabs:

Power Scheme — allows you to select one of three power mode settings.

NOTE: With systems running ACPI, select the Notebook/Portable setting as the
Power Scheme to conserve battery life while the system is in standby mode. If the
Always On setting is selected, the battery life may be much shorter when in standby
mode.

Alarms — allows you to set the Low Battery and Critical Battery alarms to alert you when
the computer battery falls below a certain percentage. When you received your computer,
the Low Battery and Critical Battery alarms check boxes were not checked. Dell
recommends that you do not select these options.

Power Meter — allows you to view the percentage of battery life remaining when your
computer is operating on battery power. If your computer is operating on AC power, the
computer displays a message.
