2.6 Reducing Power Consumption
Although your notebook (together with the operating system) is capable of power
conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption:
• Use the AC power whenever possible.
• Lower the intensity of the LCD backlight. A very bright screen translates to higher
power usage.
• Try to use the HDD drive to read and write files, instead of using the external
USB FDD.
Note:
Whenever system is powered on or powered off, make sure the battery pack is
installed in the battery pack compartment.
