COMMERCIAL NOTEBOOK BATTERIES: PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION (cont.)

CALIBRATION WITH THE COMPAQ POWER MANAGEMENT SUITE

To meet the need for battery run time accuracy, Compaq is now pre-installing a Battery Calibration utility with the Compaq Power Management Suite (PowerCon32) on all Armada notebooks. The Compaq Power Management Suite is available for download at www.compaq.com/support/files/notebooks/us/index.html

The Calibration utility simplifies the process by running all necessary actions (charge, discharge and recharge) in the background, allowing the computer to be used freely throughout the entire Calibration process. It includes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that clearly identifies when the battery needs calibration, eliminating guesswork for the user.

The battery Calibration utility is incorporated in the Compaq Power Management suite (commonly referred to as PowerCon32) for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000. To use the Battery Calibration utility, follow the instructions below for the appropriate OS.
