3-10 Managing Power
Power-Saving Tips
Aside from enabling your Rugged PC’s power saving mode (see previous section),
you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by following these
suggestions.
 Do not disable Power Management.
 Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
 Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.
 Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB mouse,
you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the optional stylus.
If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.
 Remove the ExpressCard (if inserted) when not using it.
 Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module.
 Turn off the Rugged PC when you are not using it.
