Conserving Power and Extending Battery Life
Follow these guidelines to get the most use from your batteries and
extend their life.
•
Turn off your computer by pressing FN+OFF whenever you are not
using it.
•
Make sure your system suspends automatically. PC Cards, custom
applications, or modified system settings can affect this.
•
Unplug peripherals and remove peripheral and network PC Cards
when you are not using them.
•
If you have a monochrome display, turn off the backlight when you
do not need it.
•
If you have a 10.4-inch color display, turn off MaxBright when you
do not need it.
•
Use the SCU to set power management options at levels that will
consume the least amount of battery power (see Section 5,
“Customizing Settings,” for more information).
•
Use the AC adapter or vehicle adapter whenever possible.
•
Avoid exposing batteries to extremely hot or cold temperatures for
long periods.
•
The mobile computer display does not require a screen saver. Using
screen savers consumes valuable battery power and is discouraged
unless the unit is connected to external power and an external
monitor.
•
If you plan to store the computer for more than 30 days, remove the
battery.
•
Store the battery within the recommended temperature range: 10°C
to 30°C (50°F to 86°F).
