Conserving Battery Power
Using the battery conservation procedures and settings described
in this section extends the time that a battery pack can run the
tablet PC from a single charge.
Conserving Power As You Work
To conserve power as you use the tablet PC:
■ Turn off wireless and local area network (LAN) connections
and exit modem applications when you are not using them.
■ Disconnect external devices you are not using that are not
connected to an external power source.
■ Stop or remove a PC Card you are not using. For more
information, refer to Chapter 6, “Hardware Components.”
■ Use the fn+f9 and fn+f10 hotkeys to adjust screen brightness
as you need it.
■ Use optional powered speakers instead of the internal
speakers, or use the volume buttons to adjust system volume
as you need it.
■ Turn off a device connected to the S-Video out jack by using
the
fn+f4 hotkey or by turning off support for the device in
Windows.
■ Run the tablet PC on external power while formatting a
diskette.
■ If you leave your work, initiate Standby or Hibernation or
shut down the tablet PC.
