Reading Battery Power from the Battery Gauge

CREATING NEW
POWER
SCHEMES FOR
SPECIAL
SITUATIONS
Creating a New Power Scheme
The Tablet PC is configured with the default power scheme “Motion
Computing Optimized” that helps performance and battery life. You may
want to create additional power schemes for other work scenarios or for
special situations.
1. Right-click the Power/Bat-
tery icon in the System Tray,
located at the bottom right of
the Tablet PC display win-
dow until Adjust Power
Properties or Open Power
Meter is displayed. Or, go to
the Control Panel and select
Power options.
2. Tap Adjust Power Properties
to open the Power Options
Properties.
3. The window opens to Power
Schemes.
4. Change the settings to the desired power configuration.
5. Tap Save As and enter a name for the new scheme.
6. Tap Apply.
NOTE: We recommend that you create new power schemes instead of overwriting
the default (Motion Computing Optimized) so you can reactivate it later.
Setting Up Max Battery Mode for Additional Power Savings
Max Battery mode prolongs the battery’s charge. For example, when
connected to AC power, this option turns the Tablet PC off after 15 minutes,
puts the system in Stand By after 20 minutes, and in Hibernate after 45
minutes of inactivity. Running on battery triggers other settings.
