Using the battery

Battery is an expendable supply, so when you use it for a long time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under half of the initial time, we recommend that you purchase a new battery to use.

Battery Warning

You will hear an alarm when the remaining battery charge is under 10%. Connect the power cable or turn off the computer and install a fully charged battery.

When the remaining battery charge is under 3%, the computer automatically saves current work and turns off. This may be different according to the settings in Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Alarms tab.

Using the Battery Manager

Using the Battery Manager program, you can change the configuration of the LCD brightness, the sleep timer and system devices, and can extend the battery usage time to maximum.

Click on Start > All Programs > Samsung > Samsung Battery Manager >Samsung Battery Manager.

Change Mode

You can only change the detailed configuration in Custom Mode.
