Checking the Battery Level
You can check the remaining battery
power in the Windows
®
battery status
indicator located at the lower right-hand
corner of the task tray as shown on the
right.
The Battery Status icon only appears in the task tray while the unit
is running on battery power but not while the unit is running off an
external power source through the AC Adapter.
You can also access the power meter by clicking the Power
Options icon in the Windows Control Panel.
Prolonging the Battery’s Life and Usage Cycles
There are ways to prolong the useful life of the battery.
•
Store the battery pack at room temperature. Higher
temperatures tend to deplete battery power at a faster rate.
• Make good use of the power management function. Save To
Disk saves the most energy by storing current system contents
in a hard disk space reserved for this function.
• Disable the parallel and serial ports if no devices are attached.
• Eject any PC Card from the card slot when not in use. Even
when an inserted PC Card is not in operation, it still draws a
small amount of power.
