Computing On the Road

One of the main features of notebook-type computers is that you have the power of computing away from your home or office. In the following, information is provided on how to maximize use of the battery pack which is necessary for such computing.

Four Important Points

POINT 1 Be sure to charge your battery before and after use.

POINT 2 To get the maximum use of your battery, set the power management mode.

POINT 3 Check to see that you have your AC adapter with you before leaving your home or office.

Purchasing an extra battery (CF-VZS351) or the optional battery charger (CF-VCB251A) is highly recommended.

POINT 4 Always watch your battery level!

Conserving Power

Things to Remember

Leave your computer off when it is not in use ( page 10)

Adjust the brightness (dark) with + (page 39)

Before stepping away from your computer, press + to put your computer in the standby mode

The standby mode helps you conserve power by cutting off power to the hard disk drive’s motor and LCD. To resume, you may press any key.

In the power management mode, the setting of [Advanced] is recommended ( page 13)

With the Setup Utility, you can set the [Advanced] mode. This mode allows you to maximize power save regardless of whether you are using only the battery pack or the AC adapter.

Setting the hibernation timeout ( page 13)

The hibernation function ( page 10) allows you to save power by automatically cut- ting off power when the computer is idle or there is no access to individual devices for 4 or 16 minutes. If [Advanced] or [Standard (Battery/AC adapter)] is selected for [Power Saving], the hibernation timeout function will go into effect for both the battery pack and the AC adapter. If, however, [Standard (Battery)] or [OFF] is selected for [Power Saving], it will go into effect only during operation by the battery. The standby timeout function is automatically set when [Advanced] or [Standard] is set. Note that the standby timeout precedes the hibernation timeout.

It should be noted that for some applications, the hibernation timeout will not work properly.

NOTE

If you plan to use only the battery pack or set the power management, it is necessary to

check [Allow Windows to manage power use on this computer] in [Start] - [Set- tings] - [Control Panel] - [Power]. If no check is added, the hibernation timeout will not occur.
