2.5 Power Management

The NETBOOK PRO is powered by a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack (for details, see “Battery Life Of The NETBOOK PRO” on page 121). The NETBOOK PRO can be powered from AC when used with the AC adaptor. When the NETBOOK PRO is powered from the AC adaptor, it will also charge the battery pack.

Note: How long your batteries last will depend upon how you use your NET- BOOK PRO. The NETBOOK PRO will use considerably more battery power when you have the brightness turned up, are using files stored on a memory card, or are using infrared or a communications card.

You can take steps to help prolong your battery’s life:

•Turn the screen brightness down.

•Set the delay time to 10 minutes in the Switch to Suspend option of the Battery Power scheme of the Power Schemes tab in the Power Properties control panel (see page 25).

•Open and use files from internal storage instead of from a memory card, as the NETBOOK PRO requires more power to write to memory cards.

•Remove communications cards when not in use.

2.5.1.1Fitting The Main Battery

Before you can use the NETBOOK PRO you must fit the main battery—slide it into place, then slide the cover across until it latches into place, as shown in Figure 2.7 on page 17.

Important: Always switch off the NETBOOK PRO before removing the main battery.
