Battery
saved your work, now is definitely a good time to do so. Otherwise all
modifications you have made since last save will be lost.

6.5 Battery Maintenance

To maintain the battery pack' s maximum capacity, you should occasionally let the
notebook deplete its battery power completely before recharging.
To carry out a complete depletion of the battery, disconnect the AC adapter and let your
notebook consume the remaining battery power. To speed up the depletion, use the FDD
and HDD as much as possible, and the LCD be set as bright as possible. When the
battery is empty, wait for the notebook to cool down (especially the battery). The
temperature should be within 15-25°C (59-77°F).
recharge the battery.

6.6 Power Consumption

The notebook's Power Management System reduces power consumption when the
computer is running. Power reduction is accomplished via an activity monitor which
reduces CPU's clock speeds and puts peripheral devices in low power consumption
stage during periods of "inactivity" (i.e. power is ON but the computer is idle). In
general, these power saving functions work independent of any DOS or Windows
applications.
LCD Cover Switch
If the LCD Suspend in the SETUP's Power Setup sub-menu is set to enabled, the
notebook will automatically enter Suspend Option when you have the display flipped
down. For detail on LCD Suspend and Suspend Option, please refer to Chapter 11.6.
Hard Disk Time Out
Depending on the timer setting in the Power Setup (See Chapter 11.6), HDD will spin-
down; thus consumes less power. When there is any disk accessing, HDD will
automatically wake itself up before performing any disk accessing. The wake-up, or
spin-up, time varies from HDD manufacturers to manufacturers.
