Tips for conserving battery power
The following tips help you extend the life of your battery by
conserving battery power:
■
Use an external power source such as the AC or auto adapter
whenever available.
■
Suspend operation if you know that you will not be using the
system for a while. (See page 35.)
■
If you do not plan to use the computer for an extended period of
time, turn it off.
■
Adjust power options to automatically conserve power. (See
page 57.)
■
Adjust the display brightness to no brighter than necessary for
comfortable viewing. The display can consume a large portion of
the computer’s power. (See page 44.)
■
Set the LCD Brightness range to “Power Saving” in the BIOS
Setup Utility. (See page 81.)
