Note
An open file or directory in Windows Explorer will not allow
the computer to go into suspend mode.
Introduction
The mobile computer uses a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery. This
section provides some important information about these types of
batteries and ways to extend their life.
Practical Battery Tips
Tip 1. Getting the most from your battery
•
Your battery will last longer during the day if it is used and charged
between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86°F).
•
Charge the battery nightly where the temperature will remain around
20°C (68°F).
•
Set up your system to automatically suspend (turn off) while the
battery is charging.
This can be done by enabling the Suspend on AC Power option
under the Power, Suspend/Resume Control menu in the System
Configuration Utility (SCU). This allows the system to automatically
suspend while it is connected to external power.
Tip 2. Conserving power and extending battery life
•
Turn off your computer by pressing
FN+OFF
whenever you are not
using it.
•
Make sure your system suspends automatically. PC Cards, custom
applications, or modified system settings can affect this.
Note
Even the best maintained batteries eventually need to be
retired. They simply degrade from continuous use. Consider
replacing your battery if you are not getting the usage you need
from it.
