NOTE

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

If you spend a lot of time traveling and need to work for
many hours without an AC power source, you may want to
carry additional charged batteries with you. You can then
replace a discharged battery and continue working.

charged before you can use them to power the computer. You
can charge the main battery using either your computer or an
optional battery charger.

This is an intrinsic characteristic of LCD technology.

power and you may not be able to increase the brightness of
the screen

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,
