Viewing the Power Management status icons

The Power Management status icons are displayed in the task tray at the lower
right side of your screen. Move the pointer over the icons to see the tool tip that
displays information about the active profile. The Battery status icon indicates
the battery power level and the CPU status icon indicates the performance level
of the CPU.

To activate the Power Management Toolbar

Right-click on the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.

Select Toolbars from the pop-up menu, and then click Power Management.
The Power Management toolbar appears on the taskbar.

The current profile icon is highlighted on the Power Management toolbar. It is the
first icon farthest to the left, and its appearance changes depending on which
power management profile is currently selected. To change the power
management profile, click the current profile icon, and then select a profile from
the pop-up list. See “Power Management Profiles” for a description of available
options. To select another power management profile, click that icon in the Power
Management toolbar.

You can change the power management settings, such as the system timer and the
brightness of the screen.

Maximum Battery Life power management profile by default. If you select a different
power management profile while using battery power, that profile is selected
automatically the next time you use the battery pack to power your notebook.
