Tips for conserving battery power
The following tips help you extend the life of your battery by
conserving battery power:
■ Use an external power source such as the AC or auto adapter
whenever available.
■ Suspend operation if you know that you will not be using the
system for a while. (See page 32.)
■ If you do not plan to use the computer for an extended period of
time, turn it off.
■ Adjust power options to automatically conserve power. (See
page 54.)
■ Adjust the display brightness to no brighter than necessary for
comfortable viewing. The display can consume a large portion of the
computer’s power. (See page 40.)
■ Set the LCD Brightness range to “Power Saving” in the BIOS
Setup Utility. (See page 79.)
