While using the battery to power your notebook, conserve power by:

■

Dimming the display as low as is comfortable.

■

Removing PC Cards when you do not need them. Many PC Cards use a 
small amount of power while inserted, even if they are not being used.

■

Modifying the power management settings for maximum power savings. 
For more information, see “Changing power settings” on page 149.

■

Closing the LCD panel to turn off the display while you are not using your 
notebook. The display stays off until you open the panel again.

■

Using Hibernate mode for maximum power savings while your notebook 
is not in use. For more information, see “Activating and using Hibernate 
mode” on page 154.

■

Using the CD, DVD, or recordable drive only when necessary. These drives 
use a large amount of power.

■

Recharging the battery often, taking an extra battery, and fully recharging 
the batteries before traveling. For more information, see “Recharging the 
battery” on page 143 and “Changing batteries” on page 145.
