Notebook Maintenance
4-1 Introduction
This chapter tells how to maintain the notebook in good working order.
4-2 Daily Use
For maximum reliability in the field, keep all access doors shut whenever
possible.
4-3 Battery Maintenance
Maintaining and preserving the battery is a key to keeping the notebook
productive in the field.
4-3.1 Conserving Power
Even though the notebook has several automatic power saving features, there
are ways to maximize the battery life.
?
Use the lowest brightness and contrast display settings.
?
Avoid using "reverse video". The white text on a black background uses
significantly less power than black on white.
?
Spme screen savers place a large burden on the CPU. We recommend
that you do not use screen saver programs.
?
Develop good, consistent work habits. Set the power management
features according to your style. For example, if you do not read from or
write to the hard disk very often, set the hard disk time-out setting to a very
short time.
?
Plan each computing session ahead of time. Don't waste valuable time and
power thinking about what to do.
?
Disable the cache if you do not need it.
