PowerBook Control Panel: Adapting to Power Source (12/93)


In the PowerBook control panel (System 7.1), what happens to the Battery Conservation Options when the system is connected to a power supply?

For instance, if the Processor Speed is set to Reduced Speed, will it still operate on reduced speed even with the PowerBook plugged in?

Battery conservation options of early versions of the PowerBook control panel do not adjust according to whether the PowerBook is connected to a power supply.

Beginning with version 7.2 of the PowerBook control panel, you can adjust the settings depending on whether the PowerBook is using the AC power adapter or the battery. Version 7.2 ships with the PowerBook 250 and PowerBook 270c, and is compatible with all PowerBooks.
