D
Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance.
To optimize the life
and improve its performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least
once every 30 days
.
We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. If you do need to re-
move the battery for any reason see
“Removing the Battery” on page 6 - 3
.
Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter
The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached and
plugged into an electrical outlet. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it will
take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the computer is turned off but
plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. (Refer to
for information on the battery charge status, and to
for more information on how to maintain and properly
recharge the battery pack.)
Conserving
Battery Power
To conserve battery power:
Lower the brightness level
of the LCD display. The
system will decrease LCD
brightness slightly to save
power when it is not pow-
ered by the AC/DC adapt-
er.
Close modem or communi-
cation applications when
they are not being used.
Remove any unused Ex-
press Cards from the com-
puter (Express Cards
quickly use up battery pow-
er even if the system enters
sleep mode).
Disconnect any unneces-
sary external devices.
