Power Saving Tips

•Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using battery power. Operating a fax modem, video, or audio equipment increases the computer's power requirements.

•Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease brightness by pushing <Fn> + <F6>. Increase it by pushing <Fn> + <F7>.

When to Replace the Battery

Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to store significantly less charge.

Changing the Battery

Change the main battery pack as follows:

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Close the screen cover and turn the computer over.

3. Slide the side battery latch (1) away from the battery. Continue to hold it until the battery is removed.

4. Push in the latch on the battery (2) while lifting the battery out of the compartment. Remove the battery.

5.Make sure the replacement battery is properly orientated. Slide back the side battery latch (1) then insert the battery into the battery compartment. Check that the latch locks back into position.

Heat Considerations

The computer's processor has been specially designed to consume little power and generates very little heat. However, working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature. Your computer takes the following steps to lower temperature:

1.The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You may feel air coming from a vent at the left side when this happens.

2.If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this happens.
