2.6 Reducing Power Consumption
Although your notebook (together with the operating system) is capable of power conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption:
•Use the AC power whenever possible.
•Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight. A very bright screen translates to higher power usage.
•Try to use the HDD or the PCMCIA drive to read and write files, instead of using the external USB FDD.
Note: The battery pack should be locked in the battery compartment all the time.
