Operating on battery power

This section helps you get the most out of battery operation. Optimizing battery life prolongs the charge/recharge cycle and

improves recharge efficiency. Follow these suggestions to optimize and maximize battery power:

• Purchase an extra battery pack.

• Use the AC adapter whenever possible so that the battery is reserved for on-the-go computing.

• Keep the battery pack in the computer powered by the AC adapter. The constant trickle charge maintains the battery

level to eliminate the battery self-discharge effect. The charge-in-use function also charges the battery pack.

• Eject the PC card from the card slot when it is not in use, since the PC card draws extra power. See "Ejecting a card"

on page 50.

• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. The recommended storage temperature for battery packs ranges from

10 to 30 degrees Celsius. The higher the storage temperature, the faster the battery pack self-discharges.

• The batteries can be recharged about 400 times when used as directed. Excessive recharging decreases battery life.

• Take care of your battery pack and AC adapter. See "Care and maintenance" chapter of the preface.

Your computer offers excellent expansion capabilities with its built-in ports, connectors and bays. This chapter describes how

to connect peripherals and hardware options that help you use your computer with ease. When connecting peripherals, read

the manual included with the peripheral for operating instructions. You can purchase most of these and other options directly

from authorized dealers.

This chapter also includes sections on how to upgrade key components. Key component upgradeability helps keep your

computer in step with the latest technology.

You can connect an external monitor to the external monitor port on the rear panel. Read the monitor manual for additional
