Disposing of Used Batteries Safely
Eventually, after years of faithful service, you'll need to retire your
battery and replace it with a new one. Under federal, state and
local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of old batteries by placing
them in the trash.
The materials that came with your computer may include an insert
regarding the disposal of batteries. If not, check with your local
government for information on where to recycle or dispose of old
batteries.
If you cannot find the information you need, contact Toshiba for
assistance. See "Contacting Toshiba" on page 262 for information
on contacting Toshiba offices around the world.
Conserving Power
It's a fact: if you're running your computer on battery power, your
battery will eventually discharge. However, by using Toshiba's
power-saving options, you can greatly increase the amount of time
before you need to recharge the battery.
These options have been combined into preset battery save modes.
Using these modes lets you choose between maximum power sav-
ings and peak system performance. You may also set individual
power-saving options to suit your own tastes.
The following sections describe how to choose a battery save
mode and discuss each power-saving option.
