Chapter 5: The Power System

The best power source that you can connect any
computer device to is a UPS (uninterruptable power
supply). A UPS protects your system against electrical
surges as well as protecting your data during a sudden
loss of power. Your Notebook dealer will be able to
provide you with specifics as far as the price and
performance of different UPS brands.

Using Battery Power
The battery system will provide approximately 3 hours of power to the
Notebook when Power Management is disabled. This figure will vary
depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work
habits, and the type of CPU and LCD that your Notebook has. We recommend
you use the AC Adapter as often as possible to conserve battery power.
