- Optical Drive
Using Media Player on Battery Power
Since optical drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be significantly shorter when
operating the optical drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1
Have an additional full-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.
2
Start watching your DVD movie.
3
When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the media player.
4
Power down your notebook and replace the discharged battery with an additional fully-charged battery. If you
do not have an additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon as you see the low battery warning.
5
Resume operation by pressing the Suspend button again. This is not required if you attached AC power without
entering standby mode.
6
Restart your media player, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last watching, then continue
watching your DVD movie.
