Energy saving

If you will not be using your notebook, switch it off.
Make use of the device's energy saving functions (see "Using your notebook"). The notebook uses
less power when the power management features are enabled. You will then be able to work for
longer before having to recharge the battery.
Energy saving under Windows
If a monitor with energy saving features is connected to your notebook, you can use the Screen Saver
tab to activate the energy saving features of the monitor. Select a screen saver in the menu Start -
Control Panel - Appearance and Themes - Display - Screen Saver.
You may set further energy saving functions in the menu Start - Control Panel - Performance and
Maintenance - Power Options.
There is no need for a screen saver for the LCD panel since the LCD screen is turned off
i
via the energy saving functions.

Battery storage

If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never
i
store the batteries in the unit.
Store the battery when it is half full or two-thirds full. The battery should be stored in a dry area at a
temperature between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are stored,
the lower is the rate of self-discharge.
