Maximizing Battery-Powered Operation
Preserving Battery-Pack Life
To preserve the life of the battery pack:
Attention:
Make sure the battery pack power is
completely used before you
recharge it. Recharging a battery
pack that is not completely
discharged can shorten battery life.
Do not charge the battery pack until all of its power is used.
Once you have started charging the battery pack, do not use it
until it is fully charged.
Discharge the battery pack occasionally by using the
Fuel-Gauge program.
Turn off the computer whenever it is not in use.
Maximizing Battery-Powered Operation
To save battery power:
Use Advanced Power Management (APM)
Decrease the LCD brightness
Use the Battery Power-Management function
Using Advanced Power Management
Note:
If you have purchased this computer
with a preinstalled operating system,
APM is already installed correctly.
The computer has power-management functions built in. No special
power-management drivers have to be installed before you use the
computer. However, the computer is able to conserve more power
when Advanced Power Management (APM) is used.
APM allows you to reduce power consumption when your
applications and devices are idle. Each operating system comes
with its own APM.
O
S / 2
If you are using OS/2, APM is automatically installed when the
installation program detects that the power-management function is
installed on your computer.
