Compaq 800 Series Installation and operating instructions

MAXIMIZING BATTERY OPERATING TIME
The PresarioTM 800 with Intel Pentium III processor supports
SpeedStep Technology. This technology supports two
operation modes:
•Performance Mode—the processor runs at maximum
speed if the notebook is powered on while connected to
an AC power source
•Battery Optimized Mode—the processor runs at lower
speed to maximize battery operating time if the notebook
is powered on with a battery source
To automatically change the processor settings when
changing power sources (from AC to battery or battery to
AC) without rebooting the notebook, you must install the
SpeedStep application.
To install the SpeedStep application, follow these steps:
1. Double-click the SpeedStep icon on the Windows
desktop.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.
