USING THE DVD PLAYER ON

BATTERY POWER

Since DVD drives consume a lot of power, your overall battery life will be shorter when operating the DVD drive continuously (such as watching a DVD movie) than during standard operation. Many movies run-times are longer than your notebook can support on a single battery. If you are watching a DVD movie on battery power you may need to swap in an additional, charged battery, add a second modular battery in your Flexible Bay or attach AC power during the movie to view it

in its entirety.

C A U T I O N

Prolonged use of the DVD drive, such as watching a DVD movie, will substantially reduce your notebook’s battery life.
