Caring for Your Battery

The display, processor, CD/DVD drive, and hard drive use the most battery power. To maximize the battery operating time, perform one or more of the following actions:

Press Fn+F7 to reduce the display brightness and to select a short wait for your screen saver.

Select a screen saver that does not generate a lot of graphics or motion.

Reduce audio volume or use headphones.

Exit modem programs when you are not using them.

Remove PC Cards when you are not using them.

Remove CDs or DVDs when you are not using them.

Use Sleep or Hibernation mode to turn off your Notebook when you are not using it.
