Everex SA Series User Manual

Do not restart the computer until you have connected to an AC 
adapter, or replaced the discharged battery with a charged battery. 

When you use the AC adapter to connect your Notebook to a power 
outlet, the internal battery will automatically begin to recharge. While 
the battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the Indicator panel 
will be active. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Charge 
icon will turn off. 

If your computer is turned off or standby mode, a fully discharged 
battery will take about 3 hours to recharge.  

 

Note: A fully charged battery can run the Notebook for approximately 
3.5 hours. 

 

Adjust the default power management settings in the Power Options/ 
Advanced dialog box in the Control panel.  The Power Options 
Properties dialog box allows you to set different actions to take when 
the computer is left idle for a certain amount of time.  

There are several possible settings for suspend mode, which can be 
selected in the Power Management dialog box: You may have the 
notebook standby, suspend, or you can power off the computer 
altogether. 

There are four ways to initiate suspend mode. The settings can be 
adjusted in the Power Management dialog box: 

•  The computer will automatically enter suspend mode when not 

used for a set period of time.  

•  Selecting the Stand by button in the Shut Down Windows dialog 

box.
