INCREASING BATTERY LIFE

To increase battery life:

1.Power your notebook through the AC or optional auto/airline adapter whenever possible.

2.If your notebook is running on battery power all day, connect it to the AC adapter overnight to recharge the battery.

3.Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.

4.Keep the volume level as low as possible for comfortable operation.

5.Set the power management for the maximum battery life profile of the PowerPanel settings or set an even longer life combination with the BIOSsetup utility. (See page 96 for instruction on these s ettings.)

6.Put your notebook in Suspend mode when it is turned on and you are not actually using it.

7.Limit your CD-ROM access.

8.Disable the Windows 95 CD automatic insertion function. (See page 47.)

9.Always use fully charged batteries.

CARING FOR YOUR BATTERIES

If your notebook is to be stored for a month or longer, turn the machine off and remove all Lithium ion batteries. Store your notebook and batteries separately in a cool,dry location. If you store your notebook with a battery installed,the battery will discharge,and battery life will be reduced. In addition,a faulty battery might damage your notebook.
