<title>Use menos enerxía para mellorar a vida da súa batería</title>

<p>Computers can use a lot of power. By using some simple energy-saving strategies, you can reduce your energy bill and help the environment. If you have a laptop, this will also help to increase the amount of time that it can run on battery power.</p>

 <title>Consellos xerais</title>
 <list>
  <item>
   <p><link xref="shell-exit#suspend">Suspend your computer</link> when you are not using it. This significantly reduces the amount of power it uses, and it can be woken up very quickly.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
   <p>Turn off the computer when you will not be using it for longer periods. Some people worry that turning off a computer regularly may cause it to wear out faster, but modern computers are quite robust, so this shouldn't be an issue.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
   <p>Use the Power Management preferences to change your power settings. There are a number of options that will help to save power: you can <link xref="display-dimscreen">automatically dim</link> the display or send it to sleep after a certain time; <link xref="power-brighter">reduce the display's brightness</link> (for laptops); and have the computer <link xref="power-suspendhibernate">automatically go to sleep</link> if you haven't used it for a certain period of time.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
   <p>Turn off any external devices (like printers and scanners) when you're not using them.</p>

   <p><link xref="power-brighter">Reducir o brillo da pantalla</link>; pode reducir o consumo de enerxía xa que a pantalla consumirá menos.</p>
   <p>A maioría dos portátiles teñen botóns no teclado (ou nos atallos do teclado) que pode usar para reducir o brillo.</p>
  </item>
  <item>
   <p>Se non precisa a conexión a Internet por un momento, apague a tarxeta sen fíos/bluetooth. Estes dispositivos funcionan emitindo ondas de radio as cales precisan un pouco de enerxía.</p>
   <p>Some computers have a physical switch that can be used to turn it off, whereas others have a keyboard shortcut that you can use instead. You can turn it on again when you need it.</p>

  <item>
   <p>Reducir o número de tarefas que se están executando en segundo plano. Os computadores usan máis enerxía cando teñen máis tarefas que facer.</p>
   <p>Most of your running applications do very little when you're not actively using them. However, applications that frequently grab data from the internet, play music or movies, or run distributed calculations can impact your power consumption.</p>
