36 lPower ManagementIn this section, you will nd information on how to use battery power and AC power to achieve the optimal balance between performance and power consumption.When your computer is up and running, it consumes power from the AC power adapter or from the internal battery. While the AC power adapter is plugged in to the computer and to the electrical outlet simultaneously, the battery starts charging automatically until the AC power adapter is removed or the battery reaches a 100% of its power capacity. For battery charging purposes, your computer comes with an AC power adapter and power cord. The AC power adapter converts the AC power for computer use and the power cord supplies the electrical power for the AC power adapter.To start charging the battery, do the following:1 Connect the power cord to the AC power adapter.2 Connect the AC power adapter to the USB Type-C port on the computer.3 Connect the power cord to an electrical outlet.Connecting the AC Power AdapterUsing AC PowerWhen you are working with your computer away from the reach of the electrical outlets, your computer depends on battery power to keep the system up and running. Different hardware components inside your computer consume power at different rates. The more you use the most power-consuming components, the faster the battery runs out of power. For information on saving battery power, we recommend to use the Nexstgo Power Manager app. Please refer to “Nexstgo Power Manager” on page 20 and “Power-Saving Modes” on page 38.Using the Internal BatteryWARNING: Topreventelectricalshockandpersonalinjuries,useonlythesuppliedACpoweradapterandpowercord.NOTE: RecommendationsonusingtheACpoweradapterandpowercord: −WhentheACpoweradapterisnotinuse,makesuretodisconnectitfromtheelectricaloutlet. −AvoidbendingthepowercordandACpoweradaptercableexcessively.Using the Computer and Basic Settings
