  • Page 47 Activating Power Management In addition to superior performance and an enhanced feature set, your notebook incorporates sophisticated power management features which allow you to extend battery life. You should think of your notebook’s power conservation features as being organized into several, sometimes overlapping, levels of management, which together provide both manual and automatic control over which components of the notebook are drawing current at any given time.
  • Page 48 Power Switch Function Selects whether the power switch turns the notebook on and off (the default), or makes the notebook enter the suspend mode and resume from it. Power Management Allows you to enable or disable power management. When this option is Disabled, all power management settings specified are ignored. When set to AC Disabled (the default), power management is disabled only when the notebook is powered by AC.
  • Page 49 Auto Suspend to Disk Determines whether or not the notebook suspends to disk if battery voltage drops to the critical level during Suspend to RAM. PCMCIA Power when Suspend to RAM Determines whether power is applied to the PCMCIA slot while the notebook is in the Suspend to RAM state. You can disable it to save power, but any PCMCIA card will be disabled when a Suspend to RAM occurs, and may require re-initialization when operation resumes.
  • Page 50 Suspend to Disk is a very useful feature. People frequently open many applications and have them iconized on the Windows screen. It takes some time to get all these applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed before the system can be turned off.
  • Page 51 When entering or returning from suspended mode, be sure to observe the following precautions. Otherwise, the notebook may not operate correctly after the notebook has resumed from the suspend mode. Do not operate the keyboard, Glide Point or mouse in the process of entering or returning from suspended mode.
  • Page 52 Using Battery Packs If you need to operate the notebook on battery for extended period of time, you may purchase additional battery packs (CE-W10EB) as the same type as the bundled battery pack with the notebook. Replacing a Battery Pack Use the following steps to replace a battery pack: Turn off the notebook and disconnect the AC adapter as well as any peripherals in use.
  • Page 53 Return the two battery locks to their original positions. There is a danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace the battery only with Sharp's optional battery packs. Discard used batteries according to the dealer's instructions. When using a new battery pack for the first time, be sure to initialize and charge it.
