When you are not using the wireless features, such as Bluetooth or wireless LAN, turn them off. This will help
conserve power. To turn off the wireless features, press F9.

Enabling the wakeup function

If you put your computer into hibernation mode, and the wakeup function is disabled (this is the default
setting), the computer does not consume any power. If the wakeup function is enabled, it consumes a small
amount of power. To enable the function, do the following:

1. Click Start Control Panel System and Security.

2. Click Administrative Tools.

3. Double-click Task Scheduler. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type

the password or provide confirmation.

4. From the left pane, select the task folder for which you want to enable the wakeup function. The

scheduled tasks are displayed.

5. Click a scheduled task, and then click the Conditions tab.

6. Under Power, select the check box for Wake the computer to run this task.

Enabling the battery alarm

You can program your computer so that when the battery power falls below a certain level, three events
occur: the alarm goes off, a message is displayed, and the LCD is turned off. To enable the function,
do the following:

1. Start Power Manager.

2. Click the Global Power Settings tab.

3. For Low battery alarm or Critically low battery alarm, set the percentage of the power level and set

the action.

Note: If your computer enters sleep or hibernation mode when the battery is low, but the alarm message
has not yet been displayed, the message will be displayed when the computer resumes. To resume normal
operation, click OK.
