Four Important Points
Saving Power
Be sure to charge your battery before and after use.
To get the maximum use of your battery, set the power man-
agement mode.
Check to see that you have your AC adaptor with you before
leaving your home or office.
Purchasing a spare battery (CF-VZSU21) is highly recom-
mended.
Always watch your battery level!
Leave your computer off when it is not in use
(
“Starting Up/Shutting Down”)
Before stepping away from your computer, put your computer
in the standby or hibernation mode
In [Control Panel] - [Performance and Maintenance] - [Power Op-
tions], make settings in detail
By making settings in detail for the timeout, alarm, etc., it is possible to control
the consumption of power.
We recommend setting [Never] since the operating time of the computer is not
extended even when [Turn off monitor] is set.
