TOSHIBA Power
Saver TOSHIBA Power Saver provides you with the
features of more various power supply
managements.
TOSHIBA Peak Shift
Control TOSHIBA Peak Shift Control is a function that
can help reduce power usage during periods of
peak demand by shifting some power
consumption to periods when demand is lower.
For instance, in peak hours of power
consumption such as in the daytime in the
summer, the power consumed from the AC
power source is automatically stopped and the
battery is used for PC operation. The AC power
can then be used to charge the battery during
periods where power demand is reduced (such
as at night), thereby reducing the load during
peak periods.
To access the utility, click Start -> All Programs
-> TOSHIBA -> Tools & Utilities -> Peak Shift
Control.
For more information, please refer to the help file.
