Abstract
A device and method to regulate an electronic device in response to temperature changes is shown and described. For example, the present invention can control devices that are operable in different operational modes. The method and the device can be used so as to include steps of sensing a temperature; accessing a table using the sensed temperature; reading an operational mode indicator from the table, wherein the operational mode indicator corresponds to the sensed temperature; and operating the device in the proper one of the operational modes that corresponds to the operational mode indicator.
