Energy saving
If you will not be using your notebook, switch it off.
Make use of the device's energy saving functions (see "Using your notebook"). If you use the
possible energy saving functions, the notebook uses less energy. You will then be able to work for
longer before having to recharge the battery.
Energy saving under Windows
If a monitor with energy saving features is connected to your notebook, you can use the Screen Saver
tab to activate the energy saving features of the monitor. Select a screen saver via Start - Control
Panel - Appearance and Themes - Display - Screen Saver .
You may set further energy saving functions in the menu Start - Control Panel - Performance and
Maintenance - Power Options .
Battery storage
i
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never
store the batteries in the unit.
Store the battery when it is half full or two-thirds full. The battery should be stored in a dry area at a
temperature between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored,
the lower is the rate of self-discharge.
Travelling with your notebook
Please follow these guidelines when travelling with your notebook.
Before you travel
● Back up important data stored on your hard disk.
● Turn off the wireless module before you travel. This will help keep your notebook secure, and
also prevent it from affecting sensitive equipment in hospitals, airports and other areas.
● If you wish to use your notebook during a flight, first check with the flight attendants if it is OK to
do so.
● If you are travelling abroad, check that the mains adapter can be operated with the local mains
voltage. If this is not the case, obtain the appropriate mains adapter for your notebook.
Do not use any other voltage converter!
i
If you travel in another country, check whether the local power supply and the
specifications of the power cable are compatible. If this is not the case, buy a power cable
that matches the local conditions. Do not use a connection adapter for electrical devices to
connect the notebook.
Your modem may not be fully compatible with the telephone system in the country you are
visiting. This may result in poor performance, or the modem will not work at all.
