Power Management

Do not tap the screen with any object that has a sharp tip or you may damage the screen. Don’t use any type of ink pen, as the ink may be impossible to remove.

See “Caring For The NETBOOK PRO” on page 5 for instructions on how to clean the screen.

You can usually tap on (“click on”) an item with the stylus to select or change it, simulating the standard mouse clicks. For example, you can:

•Single-tap (or single-click) to select an item.

•Double-tap (or double-click) a program icon, to open a program.

•Hold down the Alt key, then tap, to right-click. Right-click on an item to display its ‘context menu’, which gives access to the object’s properties.

2.5Power Management

The NETBOOK PRO is powered by a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack (for details, see “Battery Life Of The NETBOOK PRO” on page 102). 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 Proper- ties control panel (see page 20).

•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.
