Power
The computer’s power resources include the universal AC adaptor and internal
batteries. This chapter gives details on making the most effective use of these
resources including charging and changing batteries, tips for saving battery power,
and power up modes.

Power conditions

The computer’s operating capability and battery charge status are affected by the
power conditions: whether a universal AC adaptor is connected, whether a battery
is installed and what the charge level is for the battery.
