INCREASING BATTERY LIFE

To increase battery life:
1. Power your notebook through the
AC or optional auto/airline adapter
whenever possible.
2. If your notebook is running on battery power
all day, connect it to the AC adapter
overnight to recharge the battery.
3. Keep brightness to the lowest level comfortable.
4. Set the power management for maximum
battery life.
5. Put your notebook in Suspend mode when it
is turned on and you are not actually using it.
6. Limit your CD-ROM and modem usage.
7. Disable the Windows 98 CD automatic
insertion function. (See page 24.)
8. Always use fully charged batteries.

CARING FOR YOUR BATTERIES

If your notebook is to be stored for a month
or longer, turn the machine o and remove
the internal Lithium ion battery. Store your
notebook and batteries separately in a cool, dry
location. If you store your notebook with a bat-
tery installed, the battery will discharge, and
battery life will be reduced. In addition, a faulty
battery might damage your notebook.
