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.

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.

1 Disconnect the AC power adapter after turning off the computer.

2 Restart your computer and press the F2 button when the Samsung logo appears, to start the BIOS Setup.
