Chapter 6: Managing Power
■ Use the CD or DVD drive only when necessary. This drive uses a large
amount of power.
■ Recharge the batteries often, take an extra battery, and fully recharge
the batteries before traveling. For more information, see
“Recharging
the batteries” on page 75 and “Changing batteries” on page 76 .
Using alternate power sources
To extend battery life, use alternate power sources whenever possible.
■ If traveling internationally, take electrical adapters. Save the batteries
for times when you cannot use a power adapter. If you plan on taking
your AC power adapter, also take a single-plug surge protector.
■ If you will have access to an EmPower™ in-flight power receptacle,
an automobile power outlet, or an automobile cigarette lighter, use
a power inverter. Save the batteries for times when you cannot use
a power adapter.
■ To find AC power outlets in airports, look for them next to support
pillars, in large areas such as boarding gates, and under banks of
telephones.
