Disable the infrared communication when you are not using the IR for long periods because the IR consumes a great deal of Windows resources which will decrease the Notebook PC’s performance. 4-1 AC Power System The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts, the power adapter and the battery power system. The power adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the Notebook PC. The battery pack consists of a set of battery cells housed together. The AC Adapter’s primary function is to provide power to the Notebook PC which also charges the battery pack. When the power adapter is connected to the Notebook PC, it provides power to the Notebook PC and charges the internal battery at the same time as long as it is plugged into an electrical outlet. CAUTION! To protect your Notebook PC from damage, use only the power adapter that came with this Notebook PC because each power adapter has its own power output ratings. 4-2 Battery Power System The Notebook PC is designed to work with a removable battery pack located inside the battery pack compartment. A fully charged pack will provide several hours of battery life, which can be further extended by using power management features through the BIOS setup. The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge percentage left in the battery. Additional battery packs are optional and can be purchased separately through a Notebook PC retailer. Before using the Notebook PC on battery power for the first time, check the battery icon in the Windows task bar to make sure that the battery is fully charged. Charging the battery takes a few hours when the Notebook PC is powered OFF. 42 Chapter 4 Power system Using Battery Power A fully-charged battery pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But the actual figure varies depending on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display panel. Checking Battery Power To check the remaining battery power, move your cursor over the power icon. The power icon is a “battery” when not using AC power and a “plug” when using AC power. Double click on the icon for more information and settings. The following example is that of Windows XP. Move your mouse over the battery icon for remaining power information. NOTE: If you ignore the low battery warning, eventually the Notebook PC enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR). WARNING! Save-to-RAM does not last long when the battery power is depleted. Save to Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small amount of power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery depletion or no power supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack). WARNING! Never attempt to remove the battery pack while the power is ON, or if the system has not yet entered into the suspend mode as this may result in the data loss. 43 + Charging the Battery Pack You can charge the battery pack by using the power adapter. When the power adapter is plugged in, the inserted battery pack automatically recharges whether your Notebook PC is ON or OFF. It takes a few hours to receive a full charge when the power is OFF but takes twice as long when the Notebook PC is in use. When the orange charge LED is flashing, charging is required. The battery is charging when the orange LED is solid. When the LED is OFF, the battery pack is charged. NOTE: The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage is too high. BIOS provides a smart battery refreshing function. 44 Chapter 4 Power system 4-3 Power Management Modes The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the operating system. The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full operation on demand. These low power modes are referred to as Standby (or Suspend-to-RAM) and Hibernation mode or Suspend-to-Disk (STD). The Standby mode is a simple function provided by the operating system. When the Notebook PC is in either one of the power saving modes, the status will be shown by the following: Standby: Power LED Blinks and Hibernation: Power LED OFF. Full Power Mode and Maximum Performance The Notebook PC operates in Full Power mode when the power management function is disabled by configuring Windows power management and Speedstep . When the Notebook PC is operating in Full Power Mode, the Power LED remains ON. If you are conscious of both system performance and power consumption, select “Maximum Performance” instead of disabling all power management features. ACPI Advanced Configuration and Power Management (ACPI) was developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba especially for Windows and later to control power management and Plug and Play features. ACPI is the new standard in power management for Notebook PCs. If installing Windows 98 using a BIOS dated 12/1/ 1999 or later, ACPI is automatically installed. NOTE: APM was used in older operating systems like Windows NT4 and Windows 98. Because newer operating systems like Windows 2000 and Windows ME utilize ACPI, APM is no longer fully supported on this Notebook PC. 45 + Suspend Mode In Standby and Hibernation, the CPU clock is stopped and most of the Notebook PC devices are put in their lowest active state. The suspend mode is the lowest power state of the Notebook PC. The Notebook PC enters Suspend when the system remains idle for a specified amount of time or manually using the [Fn][F1] keys. The Power LED blinks when the Notebook PC is in STR mode. In STD mode, the Notebook PC will appear to be powered OFF. Recover from STR by pressing any keyboard button (except Fn). Recover from STD by using the power switch (just like powering ON the Notebook PC). Power Savings The Notebook PC enters Standby mode (low priority) when the system remains idle for a specified amount of time. The timeout can be set through BIOS setup (lower priority) and Windows power management (higher priority). To resume system operation, press any key. Power State Summary 46 STATE ENTRY EVENT EXIT EVENT Stand by • Stand by through Windows Start button, • Any device • Timer as set though “Power Management” in Windows Control Panel (higher priority) • Battery low STR (Standy By) • Ring indicator • Any Key (Save-to-RAM) • Sleep button [FN F1] STD (Hibernate) • Power button (Save-to-Disk) • Battery Extremely Low • Power button Chapter 4 Power system Thermal Power Control There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook PC’s thermal state. These power control cannot be configured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should enter these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU). • The fan turns ON for active cooling when the temperature reaches the safe upper limit. • The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds the safe upper limit. • The system shut down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds the maximum safe upper limit. 47 + 48
