Conserving Battery Power
Efficient battery power is critical to maintain a normal operation of the system. If the battery power is not managed well, your saved data and customized settings may be lost.
Follow these tips to help optimize battery life and avoid a sudden power loss.
Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while or shorten the Suspend Timer’s time period.
Power off the system if you won’t be using it for a period of time.
Disable unneeded settings or remove idle peripherals to conserve power.
Connect an AC adapter to the system whenever possible.
Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack can be charged while it is installed in the Notebook PC. Please NOTE that the following with respect to charging or changing the battery pack:
If a charged battery pack is not available, save your work and close all running programs, then shut down the system or
Plug in an external AC/DC power source.
You can use the system, suspend system operation, or shut down and turn off the system without interrupting the charging process.
The battery pack uses Lithium ion battery cells that have no “memory effect.” You do not need to discharge the battery pack before you begin charging. However, to optimized the life of your battery pack, we suggest that once a month the power is consumed entirely.
If you do not use the Notebook PC for a long time, it is suggested to remove the battery pack from your computer. This may be helpful to extend your battery life.
The actual charging time will be determined by the applications in use.
