Using the eco power plan
Using the eco power plan
This computer may be equipped with the eco power plan. Operating 
the computer with this power plan enabled reduces electrical power 
consumption by slightly lowering system performance. For 
example, when this power plan is enabled, the brightness of the 
display is reduced and the interval before Sleep mode takes effect is 
shortened. To enable or disable the eco power plan, see 
The eco Utility
®
 monitors your power savings from using the eco 
power plan by tracking real-time power consumption and 
accumulated savings over time. To learn how to access the utility, 
see 
For more information on the eco power plan, see the Help file in the 
eco Utility

 window.
Changing the main battery
When your main battery has run out of power, you have two 
options: plug in the AC adaptor or install a charged main battery.
Never short circuit the battery pack by either accidentally or 
intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact with another 
conductive object. This could cause serious injury or fire, and could 
also damage the battery pack and computer.
Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or 
pressure. The battery pack's internal protective device could 
fail, causing it to overheat or ignite, resulting in caustic liquid 
leakage, or explosion or fire, possibly resulting in death or 
serious injury.
TECHNICAL NOTE: To avoid losing any data, save your files and 
then either completely shut down your computer or put it into 
Hibernation mode before changing the main battery.
Removing the battery from the computer
To remove the battery:
1
