3. Using Your Notebook PC
POINT
An additional fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you
will be watching DVD movies on battery power.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional fully-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.
2. Start watching your DVD movie.
3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the
optical drive.
CAUTION
If you do not stop the optical drive quickly and the notebook PC
attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the notebook
PC will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to
perform a hard reset and follow the instruction, if any, presented
to you before the system will reboot.
4. Manually place your notebook PC into suspend mode by depressing the Suspend
button and replace the discharged battery with an addi-tional full-charged battery.
Or, if you do not have an additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon as
you see the low battery warning.
5. Resume your notebook PC by pressing the Suspend button again. This step is not
required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode.
6. Restart your optical drive, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last
watching.
7. Continue watching your DVD movie.
POINT
Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries
or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be
prepared since actual battery life while operating the optical drive
drive cannot be guaranteed.
