If possible, charge the battery while the computer is powered off.

When the computer’s power is on, the temperature inside the battery will increase due to the heat generated by the internal electronic components. Charging the battery at higher temperatures will degrade the battery more quickly. It is highly recommended that you charge the battery while the computer is powered off. This allows for faster charging, less degradation, and longer battery life.

Maximizing Battery Operation Time

Leave the computer off when not in use

Decrease the internal LCD brightness by pressing Fn+F5.

Pressing Fn+F5 will lower the degree of brightness, thereby reducing the power consumption.

Before stepping away from your computer, place it on standby or hibernation mode.

Standby or hibernation mode will reduce power consumption.

To select Power Options: Click: [Start] - [Control Panel] - [Systemand Maintenance] - [Power Options], and select the desired power-saving setting.

Motorola recommends against using screen savers or applications that place a significant load on the CPU.

Some screen savers and applications place a large load on the CPU, producing a significant decrease in battery run time even when the computer is not being used.

If possible, remove unnecessary peripheral devices (USB devices, PC Cards, external mouse, etc.) when not in use .

For all other power-saving settings, please refer to the Power Management Information in this section of the User Guide.

Storage and Non Us age for Extended Periods

When the computer is not in use for an extended period (10 days or more):

Remove the battery from the computer with a remaining charge of 30% to 45%, and then store it in a cool, dark and dry place.

If the battery pack is kept installed in the computer, it will discharge steadily even when the computer’s power is off. If this condition continues for a long period (10 days or more), the battery may fully discharge, causing performance degradation. In addition, this degradation will accelerate if the unit is stored in any high temperature environment such as inside a vehicle with windows closed, is exposed to direct sunlight or in any other environment where the temperature is high. Store the unit with battery pack where the temperature is within the range of 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). Never allow the temperature to exceed 60°C (140°F) or permanent damage may occur.
