Measuring the Remaining Battery Charge
You can view the battery charge status by completing the
following procedures.
If you move the mouse pointer over the battery icon in the
system tray of the Desktop, the remaining battery charge is
displayed.
Battery Usage Time Information
A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long
time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is
reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing
a new battery.
When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after
charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery life
time.
Extending the Battery Usage Time
Decreasing the LCD Brightness
Press the + keys on the keyboard to decrease the LCD
brightness to extend the battery usage time.
Using the Battery Calibration Function
When charging/discharging the battery repeatedly for a short time
only, the battery usage time may be reduced by the difference
between the actual battery charge and the remaining charge
display.
In this case, the actual battery charge and the remaining charge
display will be the same by discharging the battery completely
using the Battery Calibration function, and then recharging it
again.
