Extending the battery use time

Decreasing the LCD Brightness

Decreasing the LCD brightness by pressing the <Fn>+<> key combination on the keyboard or adjusting the brightness in the Battery Manager program extends the battery use time.

Decreasing the LCD brightness by one level extends the battery use time by 3~5% (10~20 minutes). (The battery use time is determined by the corresponding model.)
