Tips for Conserving Battery Power
You can extend the charge life of your battery pack by conserving battery power. Battery life is dependent upon a number of factors: operating system, power settings, and applications or peripherals in use. Here are some suggestions to help you conserve battery power:
•Use an external power source such as the AC adapter to power the system when possible.
•Suspend system operation if you won’t be using the system for a while.
•Shut down the system if you won’t be using the system for an extended period of time.
•Use power management timeouts (accessible through the BIOS setup) to help conserve power automatically. Contact your reseller before modifying the BIOS.
