This chapter tells how to maintain the notebook in good working order. 

For maximum reliability in the field, keep all access doors shut whenever possible. 

Maintaining and preserving the battery is a key to keeping the notebook productive in the 
field. 

Even though the notebook has several automatic power saving features, there are 
ways to maximize the battery life. 
 

•  Use the lowest brightness and contrast display settings. 

•  Avoid using "reverse video". The white text on a black background uses 

significantly less power than black on white. 

•  Develop good, consistent work habits. Set the power management features 

according to your style. For example, if you do not read from or write to 
the hard disk very often, set the hard disk time-out setting to a very short 
time. 

•  Plan each computing session ahead of time. Don't waste valuable time and 

power thinking about what to do. 

•  Disable the cache if you do not need it. 

To change the battery pack: 

1. Loose two screws from battery pack of the two sides. 
2. To pull handle from battery pack. 
3. Take the battery pack out. 
4. Put another battery pack back in the battery pack house and make sure 
that the removal strap is available for future changes. 

Periodically clean the exposed notebook surfaces. Use a soft cloth and water or mild 
detergent to clean all surfaces. The glass cleaner is recommended for cleaning the display 
screen.
