If you dont use battery packs for a long time (about three weeks),
they should be discharged completely and then recharged. The
battery that came with your new computer may have been in stor-
age or shipment for some time. So, we
strongly recommend
that
you follow these steps when you receive this computer or if you
have not used the battery(ies) for a long time. Note that you should
follow this procedure regardless of whether or not the AC power
source is plugged in during the battery inactivity.
1. Install the battery in its compartment (if its not already there).
2. Make sure that the AC power source is plugged in. Refer to the AC
Power section for details. Turn on the system and press
Ctrl-Alt-S
to
enter
Setup
. (If you are not sure how to do this, refer to
Chapter 4:
Firmware
.)
3. Open the Power and un-check Enable Power Saving.
4. Save the setting by choosing Save and Exit in the Exit menu.
5. Make sure that your operating system does not activate Advanced Power
Management (APM). If you are using
Windows 95
, reboot using
Command prompt only.
