Battery Usage Time Information
A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long
time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is
reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing
a new battery.
When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after
charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery life
time.
Extending the Battery Usage Time
Decreasing the LCD Brightness
Press the + keys on the keyboard to decrease the LCD
brightness to extend the battery usage time.
Using Battery Manager (Optional)
Battery Manager is a power management program that enables
using the battery power efficiently. You can select an optimized
power mode according to your requirements.
Battery Manager is optional and may not be supported
depending on your model.
