B. Display brightness
The LCD display consumes a lot of power, so setting the bright-
ness level to low will save power.
C. Applications and external devices:
Different applications and external devices consume battery
power even when they are not being used. To conserve battery
power we recommend:
- Closing modem or communication applications when
they are not being used.
- Removing any unused PC Cards from the computer.
- PC Cards quickly use up battery power even if the
system enters Suspend mode.
- Removing any unnecessary external devices from the
computer.
Q & A
How do I completely discharge the battery ?
Use the computer with battery power until it shuts down due to a
low battery. Don't turn off the computer by yourself even when
you see a message or hear beeps that indicate the battery is
critically low, just let the computer use up all of the battery
power and shut down on its own.
How do I fully charge the battery ?
When charging the battery, don't stop until the battery LED
indicator light is green.
How do I maintain the battery ?
Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every
30 days or after about 20 partial discharges.
