Gateway TM 5150 - Manual (Page 63)

Appendix A: Using the BIOS Setup Program 61
Using the Power menu
The Power menu is a part of the BIOS Setup Utility that contains the power
management settings and system timeouts. These settings are stored and
saved even when the power is off. Use the Power menu to make changes to
the system to improve the battery-powered session time and performance.
The rest of the BIOS Setup Utility screens are discussed in Maintaining and
Troubleshooting Your Solo Notebook.
The Power menu screen shown may differ somewhat from that shown here
because you may have a newer BIOS than described here. The screens will
be similar enough to get the information you need. If there are differences,
follow the on-screen instructions and help.
1. Start up your notebook.
2. Press the F2 key when prompted to do so. The “Entering Setup...”
message briefly shows and then the Main menu appears.
3. Use the right arrow key to navigate to the Power menu. Use the keys
identified at the bottom of the screen to navigate through the different
options. An Item Specific Help bar providing additional information
is also located along the right side of each menu.
