To get the most from your batteries

Follow these suggestions to make your battery’s power last as long as possible.

•

  Plug in the AC adapter, especially when using a drive in the module bay, or any

external connections such as a PC Card or a modem.

•

  Set the display brightness to the lowest comfortable level (Fn+F1).

•

  Put the computer in Standby mode whenever you are not using it for a short while:

press the blue sleep button for approximately one second, or click Start, Shut Down,
Standby.

•

  Put the computer in Hibernate mode whenever you want to save your current session,

but will not be using the computer for several hours: press Fn+F12.

•

  Set the automatic timeout settings to emphasize saving power. If your computer has a

dual-speed processor, use the lower speed on battery power (the default settings
conserve battery power). See “How the computer manages power automatically” on
page 52.

•

  If your computer has a wireless on-off button, turn off the wireless function when

you’re not using it. Press the wireless on-off button so the light turns off.

•

  If you have an I/O PC Card— that is, a PC Card having an external connection, such

as a network card— remove it when you’re not using it. Some I/O cards use
significant power even while they’re inactive.

•

  If you work with an application that uses the serial port or an I/O PC Card, exit the

application when you finish using it.

•

  Install another battery— see “To use additional batteries” on page 56.

•

  If your main battery is rated at 11.1 volts (check its label), purchase a replacement

main battery, which is rated at 14.8 volts.

In addition, follow these suggestions to extend the life of your batteries.

•

  Do not leave batteries unused for long periods. If you have more than one, rotate

them.

•

  If you normally use AC power, make a practice of using the battery as your power

source at least once a week.

•

  Unplug the AC adapter when the computer is not in use.

•

  To preserve the life of a battery, be sure to charge it regularly.
