Using TOSHIBA eco Mode
This computer is equipped with TOSHIBA eco Mode. Operating
the computer in this mode reduces electrical power consumption by
slightly lowering system performance. For example, in eco Mode
the brightness of the display is reduced and the interval before
Sleep mode takes effect is shortened. To turn on eco Mode, press
the eco utility button.
