If you are running Windows 98, several power
conservation features described in this chapter will be disabled.
For more information on power conservation under Windows 98,
refer to the section "Using ACPI Power Control" in this chapter.
When the computer is left on for extended periods, such as
overnight, you may want to initiate Suspend to conserve power.
The computer should be left in Suspend when it will be
unattended and operating only on battery power. With a fully
charged battery pack, the computer can be left in Suspend for up
to several days, depending on your hardware configuration.
If you plan to store the computer for an extended period, such as
two weeks, you should turn off the computer and remove the
battery pack. This reduces the battery pack's discharge rate and
extends its life.
