2.6Reducing 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 drive to read and write files, instead of using the external

USB FDD.

Note: Whenever system is powered on or powered off, make sure the battery pack is installed in the battery pack compartment.
