Battery Warning
You will hear an alarm when the remaining battery charge reaches below 10%.
In this case, connect the AC adapter or turn off the computer and install a fully charged battery.
If the battery residual amount is 3~5%, the computer automatically shuts down after saving the data. The battery residual amount may vary depending on the computer model.
Battery Usage Time Information
A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing a new battery.
For long periods of not using the battery, keep the battery after discharging it. This extends the battery life time.
Extending the Battery Usage Time
Decreasing the LCD Brightness
Press the Fn + ( | ) keys on the keyboard |
to decrease the LCD brightness to extend the battery usage time.
You can only use this function after installing Windows XP and installing the Easy Display Manager program with the system software media disk.(Only for Widows XP)
Using the Battery Calibration Function
When charging/discharging the battery repeatedly for a short time only, the battery usage time may be reduced by the difference between the actual battery charge and the remaining charge display.
In this case, the actual battery charge and the remaining charge display will be the same by discharging the battery completely using the Battery Calibration function, and then recharging it again.
