Worldwide Telephone Numbers; Turning Beeps On Or Off - Compaq Armada V300 Series Reference Manual

Disconnect external equipment that does not have its own
power source. (External equipment connected to the computer
drains the battery pack.)
Exit modem programs when you are not using them.
Remove a PC Card when you are not using it.
When storing the computer for more than two weeks, remove
battery packs and store them separately to reduce the discharge
rate and increase battery life.
Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place when it is not in use.
High temperatures cause a battery pack to lose its charge more
quickly and reduce battery pack life. For more information on
storing battery packs, see "Storing a Battery Pack" in this
chapter.
Format diskettes while using external power when possible.
(Formatting diskettes increases the drain on a battery pack.)
To find out if the battery pack recycling program is available in
your area, check the worldwide telephone numbers. If a number
for recycling is not listed for your area, contact your Compaq
authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
When the computer beeps while the battery charge light is
blinking, the computer has entered a low battery condition.
See "Turning Beeps On or Off" in this chapter to avoid being
alerted with system beeps.
