Working with the notebook Rechargeable battery Life,battery Battery Rechargeablebattery When not plugged into a mains socket, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by caring for the battery properly. The average battery life is about 1000 charge/discharge cycles. You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions. Using Battery Utility, you can limit the max.
Working with the notebook Switch the battery off and on Switch off the battery You need the mains adapter to switch the battery on. ► Shut down the operating system (shut down). ► Disconnect the device from the mains adapter and if applicable, from the Port Replicator as well. ► Use a pencil or a wire (e.g. a paperclip) to press firmly into the opening of the off button for the battery, this will switch off the system. The device is currentless.
Working with the notebook Using the power-management features Battery Power The notebook uses less power when the available power-management features are used. You will then be able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it. Power efficiency is increased and environmental pollution reduced. By choosing the best power options, you can make significant savings and at the same time help protect the environment.
Working with the notebook Adjusting fan control You can adjust the fan control in the BIOS Setup Utility. The following settings are available: • Normal: The system is cooled to ensure that the maximum system performance is always available and to keep the housing temperature as low as possible. • Silent: The fan rotation speed, and thereby the noise created by the fan, is reduced. The default setting of this system is Silent. ► Call up the BIOS Setup Utility.
Working with the notebook Memory cards Slot Your notebook is equipped with an integrated memory card reader. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions when handling the memory cards. Memory card Supported format Your notebook supports the following format: • Secure Digital (microSDTM Card) Inserting the memory card ► Carefully push the memory card into the slot until you feel it click into place.
