Battery Endurance Tips

How long can you run on a single charge? This varies greatly with how
you use your system and how you configure its power-conserving
features. Your Meridian can run a lot longer if you do one or more of the
following:

• Use the AC adapter whenever possible

• Operate in cooler temperatures

• Store the battery in low humidity

also, in SETUP:

• Uncheck “LCD Max Brightness”

• Uncheck “L1 Cache Enable”

• Uncheck “L2 Cache Enable”

See Chapter 5, Using SETUP, to learn how to set the power management
features.

Turning On Your System

After installing the battery pack, allow it to charge fully before using
your system for the first time. Once the battery is fully charged, go
ahead and open your system and push the power button. Hold the button
down for one second to turn on the system.

Note: Be sure to wait at least one to two seconds between each time you press the

power button. Otherwise, the button may not respond.
