Power Saving Tips

equipment increases the computer's power requirements.
•
Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease
brightness by pushing <Fn> + <F6>. Increase it by pushing <Fn>
+ <F7>.
When to Replace the Battery
Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend
that you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to store
significantly less charge.
Changing the Battery
Change the main battery pack as
follows:
1.
Turn off the computer.
2.
Close the screen cover and turn the
computer over.
3.
Slide the battery latch away from
the battery. Continue to hold it until
the battery is removed.
4.
Remove the battery.
5.
Make sure the replacement battery
is properly orientated. Insert the
battery into the battery
compartment. Check that the latch
locks back into position.
