Power Management
The power management feature helps reduce power consumption which
extends battery life.
Your M9020 supports ACPI (Advanced Conguration and Power Interface) for
power management. Power supply to different components is controlled on an
as-needed basis. This allows maximum power conservation and performance at
the same time.
Windows comes with pre-dened Power Options (Balanced, Power Saver,
and High Performance) for you to select. You can access Power Options by
tapping Start > Control Panel > Power Options. By default, your M9020 is in
Balanced Mode.
For detailed information on power management, see Windows Help.
Power Saving Tips
Here are some practical suggestions that you can do to maximize the operating
time of the battery:
• Enable Power Management. Choose a power plan that saves power. A
power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that control how
your M9020 manages power.
• Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
• Shorten the length of time before Windows turns off the display.
• Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB
ash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.
• Deactivate the Wireless LAN function if you are not using it.
• Deactivate Bluetooth wireless feature if you are not using it.
• Turn off M9020 when you are not using it.
