Power Button Settings
The function of the power button can be set to Shutdown or Standby in
the Power Management Properties dialog box in the Windows Control
Panel. However, holding the power button down for more than four
seconds will force a power off while operating under any situation,
resulting in the loss of any unsaved information.
Power Saving Tips
Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using
battery power. Operating a fax modem, video, or audio equipment increases
the computer's power requirements.
Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease brightness by
pushing <Fn> + <F6>. Increase it by pushing <Fn> + <F7>.
When to Replace the Battery
Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend
that you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to store
significantly less charge.
Changing the Battery
Change the main battery pack as follows:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Close the screen cover and turn the
computer over.
3. Slide the side battery latch (1) away
from the battery. Continue to hold it
until the battery is removed.
4. Push in the latch on the battery (2)
while lifting the battery out of the
compartment. Remove the battery.
5. Make sure the replacement battery is
properly orientated. Slide back the
side battery latch (1) then insert the
battery into the battery compartment.
Check that the latch locks back into
position.
