1-20 Getting Started
Extended Battery Life
While on the road, it is important to be aware of the simple things you can
do to extend the life of the system’s main battery. One way is to keep the
LCD backlight setting to Standard instead of Full. You can toggle between
these two settings by pressing the function keys (Fn + F5).
You will find an extensive explanation of how best to apply the power man-
agement tools that your system offers in the Owner’s Manual in the on-line
documentation under the NEC Versa 4200 InfoCenter. Other important
topics to view in the on-line document include Maximizing Battery Life,
When to Change the Battery, and Charging and Disposal.
