You may choose a power-saving management strategy to best
suit your computing needs. If you are running on batteries
and the programs that you are using do not require a lot of
system resources, you may experience longer work sessions
by enabling the Normal setting. Any options that you change
become the active settings when you exit the program. (You
do not have to restart your system before they become active
settings.)
For more information, see “TOSHIBA Power Saver” on
page 157.
