Managing Battery Pack Life
Using Batteries Efficiently
Here is a list of things you can do to maximize your battery
pack’s life and charge:
• Charge the battery pack as soon as the first low battery pack
warning appears. Keep the battery fully charged whenever
possible.
• Use AC power as much as possible, especially when you are
using PC cards. These cards consume a lot of power.
• If you are low on power, turn off sounds on the device using
the Volume and Sound Control Panel. These sounds consume
a lot of power.
• If possible, use AC power when using the Clio built-in modem
as it requires more power.
• Turn on the dim backlight feature, described above, to
maximize battery life when the device is idle.
• Choose a lower brightness setting if possible. The backlight
consumes a lot of power.
