Power Manager – Installing

Power Manager consists of a control panel called “Power Manager” and an extension called “Power Manager Extension”.

– Place the “Power Manager” control panel into your active System folder’s “Control Panels” folder.

– Place the “Power Manager Extension” extension into your active System folder’s “Extensions” folder.

NB Dragging both files onto the “System Folder” icon allows the System to automatically place the files in the correct locations.

You do not need to restart your Macintosh. Open the “Power Manager” control panel. The control panel will inform you that the extension has not been started up. Select “Start Up” to install the extension.

You are now ready to use Power Manager!

The Control Panel

Before configuring Power Manager it is beneficial to learn how to navigate using the control panel’s interface.

(a) Modules

The control panel is divided into multiple modules. Each module has a unique name and purpose.

The modules are listed at the top of the control panel (a). The currently visible module is highlighted in green and is represented by the extended tab.

To switch to an alternative module, single click on the module’s name.

The list of modules scrolls by using the directional arrows on either side of the list.

(b) Power Manager On/Off

Power Manager can be enabled and disabled through a single check box (b). If this check box is disabled then Power Manager will not alter the current Energy Saver settings.
