Power management

Your computer ships with the power management options preset to
a configuration that will provide the most stable operating
environment and optimum system performance for both AC power
and battery modes.

Using additional batteries

In addition to the main battery, you may also have an optional
second battery (not included with your computer). If you travel and
need to work for many hours without an AC power source, you may
purchase a battery module for use in the computer, or carry
additional charged battery packs with you. You can then replace a
discharged battery and continue working.

Charging batteries
The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to power the
computer.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Depending on your system, the RTC battery may
only charge while the computer is turned on.
Changes to these settings may result in system performance or
stability issues. Users who are not completely familiar with the power
management component of the system should use the preset
configuration. For assistance with setup changes, contact Toshiba's
Global Support Centre.
Never leave batteries in the battery charger for more than a week at a
time. Doing so may reduce the potential charge of the battery.
Always use the battery charger specified by Toshiba. You can order a
Toshiba battery charger from Toshiba's Web site at
accessories.toshiba.com.
