INCREASING BATTERY LIFE
To increase battery life:
1. Power your notebook through the AC or
optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.
2. If your notebook is running on battery power
for any extended time connect it to the AC
adapter overnight to recharge the battery.
3. Keep brightness to the lowest
comfortable level.
4. Keep the volume level as low as possible for
comfortable operation.
5. Set the power management for the maximum
Power Savings profile of the PowerPanel set-
tings or set an even longer life combination
with the BIOS setup utility.
6. Put your notebook in Suspend mode when it
is turned on and you are not actually using it.
7. Limit your CD-ROM access.
8. Disable the Windows 98 CD automatic
insertion function. (See page 28.)
9. Always use fully charged batteries.
CARING FOR YOUR BATTERIES
If your notebook is to be stored for a month
or longer, turn the machine off and remove all
Lithium ion batteries. Store your notebook
and batteries separately in a cool, dry location.
If you store your notebook with a battery
installed, the battery will discharge, and battery
life will be reduced. In addition, a faulty battery
might damage your notebook.
