❑Use one of the Setup programs to disable
ports you are not using.
❑Use only Texas Instruments options, which
are designed to operate with the least
possible energy consumption. Third-party
options, such as RAM, and mouse devices,
can drain the battery more quickly.
❑Run the computer with the AC Adapter
connected when using external devices,
such as an external keyboard.
❑Increase the BatteryPro power savings to
level 7 using the SETPOWER utility or the
Power Level utility in Windows TISetup.
