Power system
The power system includes FlyBook's AC-to-DC adapter and battery.
Through the adapter, an AC power source supplies the computer with
power and charges the battery. The battery supplies the computer with
power if the adapter is disconnected from the AC power source.
The computer controls power activities through an ACPI power
management unit. The unit works closely with Windows to conserve
power and optimize system performance. Windows manages all
power-saving features of the computer.
AC-to-DC adapter
The adapter can be used with most AC power sources, provided that:
•
The voltage and frequency of the AC power source consistently
meet the input specification of adapter.
•
The power cord can connect to the power outlet properly.
Do not use the adapter if these conditions are not met.
The LED indicator on the adapter lights green when the adapter is
properly connected to a power source.
Battery
A fully charged battery pack can keep the computer working for hours,
depending on the application.
Calibrating the battery
Calibrating the battery pack every 2 or 3 months prolongs battery life.
The
System Recovery Utility provides a battery calibration utility. See
the System Recovery Utility Reference Guide for more details.
N O T E If the computer is being used for the first time, the battery pack
must be fully charged.
