3. Using Your Notebook PC
Many movie run-times are longer than your system can support on
a single battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery
power you may need to swap in an additional, charged battery or
attach AC power during the movie to view it in its entirety.
An additional fully-charged battery is highly recommended if you
will be watching DVD movies on battery power.
To Watch a Movie on Battery Power:
1. Have an additional fully-charged battery or your AC adapter ready for use.
2. Start watching your DVD movie.
3. When the low battery warning occurs, immediately stop the movie and exit the
optical drive.
If you do not stop the optical drive quickly and the notebook PC
attempts to auto-suspend (critical battery low state) the notebook
PC will shut down improperly. If this occurs, you will need to
perform a hard reset and follow the instruction, if any, presented
to you before the system will reboot.
4. Manually place your notebook PC into suspend mode by depressing the Suspend
button and replace the discharged battery with an addi-tional full-charged battery.
Or, if you do not have an additional battery, you may attach AC power as soon as
you see the low battery warning.
5. Resume your notebook PC by pressing the
Suspend
button again. This step is not
required if you attached AC power without entering suspend mode.
6. Restart your optical drive, locate and skip to the chapter of the movie you were last
watching.
7. Continue watching your DVD movie.
Some shorter DVD movies may not require you to swap batteries
or attach AC power to complete them. However, it is best to be
prepared since actual battery life while operating the optical drive
drive cannot be guaranteed.
