Reducing Power Consumption

Although your notebook (together with the operating system) is capable of power
conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption:
•
Use the AC power whenever possible.
•
Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight. A very bright screen translates to higher
power usage.
•
Try to use the HDD or the PCMCIA drive to read and write files, instead of using
the external USB FDD.
Note:
The battery pack should be locked in the battery compartment all the time.
