See Battery for more information on getting the best performance
from battery packs.
Use your notebook computer G-MAX N501 connected to an electrical
outlet as often as possible, as battery life expectancy is affected by
the number of times it is charged and discharged.
One of the great features in your notebook computer G-MAX N501 aside from
its superior performance is the ability to save energy power. Your notebook
computer G-MAX N501 is designed to incorporate intelligent and advanced
power management functions that turn off power of most components when
system is idle or not in use. This does not affect the performance of your
system as it monitors the activity of your notebook computer G-MAX N501 and
resumes power and operating speed when activity is detected. This feature not
only gives you longer battery hours but cooler systems and components as
well. You can configure it, through the Power Options program in the Control
Panel, to sleep, hibernate, and wake according to specific pre-defined
situations.
When leaving your notebook computer G-MAX N501 unattended for long
periods of times, place it in standby or hibernate mode. You can exit either
power management mode by pressing the power button.
