This chapter describes how to conserve your computer’s battery and save energy using the power management tools supplied.
Using the AC Power Adapter
The AC power adapter charges the battery and runs the computer off power from an electrical outlet. Use the adapter whenever you have access to an outlet, especially when you are using a PC card.
