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 or the PCMCIA drive to read and write files, instead of using
the external USB FDD.
Note: When system is powered on, make sure the battery pack is installed in the
battery pack compartment.
