Mobile Computing 

This chapter covers all aspects of using your computer while traveling. 

Managing power usage 

Your computer’s power-saving options greatly increase the length of time you can 
use the computer before you need to recharge the battery. 

To change the power usage mode, click 

Start, 

point to 

Settings, 

then click 

Control Panel.

 In Control Panel, double-click the 

Power Option 

icon to display 

the Power Option Properties window. 

Select the power scheme with the most appropriate settings for your computer. 
Keep in mind that changing any settings on the Power Option Properties window 
will modify the currently selected scheme. 

Consult your Windows Millennium Edition documentation for more information on 
the Power Option utility. 

Running the computer on battery power 

The computer contains a removable Li-ION battery pack that provides power 
when you are away from an AC outlet. You can recharge it many times. 

In addition to the removable main battery, the computer has an internal real-time 
clock (RTC) Lithium rechargeable battery. The RTC battery powers the RTC 
memory, which stores your system configuration settings and the current time and 
date for up to a month while the computer is turned off. 

Using additional battery packs 

If you spend a lot of time traveling and need to work for many hours without an AC 
power source, you may want to carry additional charged battery packs with you. 
You can then replace a discharged battery and continue working. 

 

 

NOTE: A new battery pack should be fully discharged and 
recharged three times before being used.
