Using the TOSHIBA eco power plan

This computer is equipped with the TOSHIBA eco power plan.
Operating the computer with this power plan enabled reduces
electrical power consumption by slightly lowering system
performance. For example, when this power plan is enabled, the
brightness of the display is reduced and the interval before Sleep
mode takes effect is shortened. To enable or disable the TOSHIBA
eco power plan, press the eco Utility™ button.
