Conserving Battery Power
Efficient battery power is critical to maintain a normal operation. If the battery power is not
managed well, the saved data and customized settings may be lost.
Follow these tips to help optimize battery life and avoid a sudden power loss.
Suspend system operation if the system will be idle for a while or shorten the Suspend Timers

time period.
Turn off the system if you will not be using it for a long period of time.

Disable unneeded settings or remove idle peripherals to conserve power.

Connect an AC adapter to the system whenever possible.

Charging the Battery Pack
The battery pack can be recharged while it is installed in the Notebook. Please pay attention to
the following tips before recharging the battery:
If a charged battery pack is not available, save your work and close all running programs and
●
shut down the system or Save-to-Disk(Hibernate).
Plug in an external AC/DC power source.
●
You can use the system, suspend system operation or shut down and turn off the system
●
without interrupting the charging process.
The battery pack uses Lithium-ion battery cells that have no "memory effect." There is need
●
to discharge the battery pack before you begin charging. However, to optimize the life of
battery, we suggest that consuming the battery power completely once a month is necessary
recommended.
If you do not use the Notebook for a long Period of time, it is suggested to remove the
●
battery pack from your Notebook. This may be helpful to extend your battery life.
The actual charging time will be determined by the applications in use.
