Power Saving Modes

This section contains information on the Notebook’s power system,
including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the
battery, and tips for conserving battery power.
The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and
the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall
outlet to the DC power required by the computer.

The Battery Power System

Before using the computer on battery power for the first time,
check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make
sure the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and
explanation of the Windows Battery icon.
Charging the battery takes about 2.5 hours to charge when the
system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery
completely.

If you use the battery so frequently that it

exceed more than 20 times by fully discharging/charging in a
single month alone, we recommend you to perform the
“Battery Calibration” process every 3 months to maintain the
battery life.

Please refer to the topic on “Battery Calibration” describing
how to calibrate your system battery discussed on the latter
part of this chapter.

If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please
perform the “Battery Calibration” process immediately.
