Follow these tips when you are taking your notebook to a meeting.
Preparing your notebook
Before moving your notebook, close and latch the LCD panel to place it in
Standby mode. You can now safely take your notebook anywhere you go within
the building.
To bring your notebook out of Standby mode, open the display.
What to bring to short meetings
A fully charged battery runs your notebook for three hours under most
circumstances. If your meeting is shorter than that, you probably do not need
to bring anything with you other than your notebook.
What to bring to long meetings
If your meeting will last longer than 3 hours or if your battery is not fully
charged, you may want to bring the AC adapter with you to plug in your
notebook in the meeting room.
If the meeting room does not have an electrical outlet, reduce the drain on
the battery by putting your notebook in Standby mode. Press

+F2 or close
the LCD panel whenever you are not actively using your notebook. Tap any
key or open the LCD panel to resume.
