Battery and Power Management

This chapter explains how to manage the computer's power effectively and use the
standard battery.

Battery Pack

When not connected to an external power source, your computer operates with the
rechargeable battery pack. The duration of the battery life may be longer if the
computer's Power Management is active. See the next section for power
management.
To keep the battery life long:
Initialize the battery pack if the actual remaining power in your battery is less than
what the battery indicator lights suggest as per the procedure on page 3-3.
Turn off your computer when you are not using it.
The duration a battery life will depend on the computer usage.
Applications which heavily use the peripherals will experience shorter
power duration.
When the battery is not charged, your computer may not operate
properly. Connect the AC power to charge the battery.
If you see an error message during booting, press F2 to open the Setup
Utility. Following the instructions in Chapter 8, adjust the Setup Utility
and restart the system.
When using the computer for several hours with battery packs, enable
power management and set Hibernation. Refer to the Power
Management section in this chapter.
