Conserving Battery Power

• Use a power plan that conserves power (e.g Power saver), however note that

this may have an affect on computer performance.

• Lower the brightness level of the LCD display. The system will decrease LCD

brightness slightly to save power when it is not powered by the AC/DC adapter.

• Reduce the amount of time before the display is turned off.

• Close wireless, Bluetooth, modem or communication applications when they are

not being used.

• Disconnect/remove any unnecessary external devices e.g. USB devices,

ExpressCards etc.
