Chapter 5: Managing Power Usage 59

The following settings show user changeable power saving modes in the
BIOS setup Power menu:

♦

Remove PC Cards when not in use. Some PC Cards use battery power
even when they are not in use. Check the PC Card manufacturer’s
documentation to find out if the card uses power when not in use.

♦

Keep the battery pack in the computer when using AC power to
continuously charge the battery.

♦

Minimize your use of the DVD or CD-ROM drive. DVD and
CD-ROM drives use considerable battery power.

♦

Use the optional external charger to charge an additional battery pack
while you work.
