Conserving battery power

To conserve power while using the battery to power your convertible
tablet PC:
■
Dim the display as low as is comfortable. For dim or dark
environments, use the XtraBright/XtraDim button to set your
display to the dimmest setting possible.
■
Remove PC Cards when you do not need them. Many PC Cards use
a small amount of power while inserted, even if they are not being
used.
■ Modify the power management settings for maximum power
savings.
Tips & Tricks
■
Close the LCD panel to turn off the display while you are not using
your convertible tablet PC. The display stays off until you open the
panel again.
■
Use Hibernate mode for maximum power savings while your
convertible tablet PC is not in use.
