44 Using the BatteryUsing the BatteryYour computer uses a smart rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack for powerwhen the AC adapter is not attached to an electrical outlet. The smart battery gives aaccurate measurement of the current battery capacity which helps extend operatingtime by enabling effective power management in operating systems that takeadvantage of the accurate information supplied by the battery.Charging the BatteryYour computer’s battery starts charging automatically when you connect the power tothe computer and to an electrical outlet. If the computer is off, the battery charges fasterthan if the computer’s power is on.Approximate charging times for the Li-Ion battery are:•2-3 hours with the computer off (Small battery) and 4-5 hours (Large battery).•5-6 hours with the computer on (Small battery) and 10-11 hours (Large battery).While the battery is charging normally, the battery charge light on the computer isamber (See ”System Status Lights” on page 25 for the location of the battery chargelight). When the battery is fully charged, the light changes to green.When you use a new battery pack for the first time or use a battery after a long periodof storage, the initial battery life is shorter than normal. Normal battery life resumesafter a few discharge-recharge cycles.Follow these rules for charging your battery:•A battery normally discharges power when not used for long periods of time. Besure to recharge the battery every two months when it is not in use.•Make it a practice to discharge your battery fully before recharging the battery. Thiscan help extend the life of the battery.•Do not attempt to charge the battery in temperatures of under 50oF(10oC) or over 90oF(32oC.)All batteries eventually wear out and lose the ability to hold a charge.You may need to replace your battery pack after a year of average usage.
Using the Battery 45Safely Using the BatteryFollow these guidelines to safely use the battery:•Turn off your computer and unplug it if you accidentally:– Expose the equipment to liquid.– Drop, jar, or damage the computer.•Use only approved battery chargers.•Do not disassemble the battery, heat it above 212° F (100° C), or burn it. Thebattery used in this computer may cause a fire or chemical burn if mistreated.•Your computer's rechargeable battery may be considered hazardous waste. If youreplace your battery with a new one:– Keep the old battery out of the reach of children.– Dispose of the old battery promptly.– Make sure that you follow all local requirements when you dispose ofthe old battery.Removing the BatteryYour computer comes with the battery pack inserted in the computer. To remove thebattery from the computer:1. Turn the computer’s power off and close the LCD panel.2. Undock the computer if docked. See ”Undocking your Computer” on page 7.3.

Using the Battery 47Figure 36. Installing the BatteryMonitoring the Battery ChargeBattery life is affected by factors such as the power-management settings in SystemSetup, the applications you use, and the brightness settings of the LCD. Under normalusage, the battery charge lasts approximately 3 hours for small battery (undocked),1 1/2 on small battery (docked) and approximately 5 hours for the large battery(undocked).Battery life estimates are subject to variation. The actual life of yourbattery may be less than the estimates given in the manual.Power MeterThe Power Meter displays the charge of the batteries and the current source ofcomputer power, AC or batteries. You may monitor the battery charge or usage byusing the "Power Meter". To access the power meter click on the power meter iconon the task bar or click Start > Control Panel > Power Options > Power Meter tab.

More Info Dialog BoxIf the modem is not properly installed, install the driver again.Modem CommandsThe 3Com Modem includes the basic commands used by the Smart Modem of theHayes Corporation. Some additional commands have been added to it to improve itscapacity.What are AT commands?AT commands are the control commands of Fax modems developed by the HayesCorporation. AT commands are the industry standard and necessary for any faxmodem. It is used with the S-register to set the modem status.
Using the Modem 61Generally, AT commands are used by directly entering the command into anycommunications program, like Hyper terminal.You can do the jobs below more easily by using AT commands.•Calling up or hanging up the phone in order to communicate by Computer modem•Choosing a modem in order to make the most efficient communication status.But, as the communication programs are becoming more efficient and more intelligentnowadays, users do not have to know all the AT commands. Only a few basiccommands are enough for computer communications.Before Using AT CommandsAT commands can be used by entering them into terminal-based communicationprograms directly. (Hyper terminal, CrossTalk, Procomm, etc.)CompuServe, America On-line applications are not terminal-based communicationprograms, but they are the communication programs based on a Graphic environment.This kind of program can initiate the modem setting by entering AT commands in amenu having a modem initialization command.What you have to know before using AT commands is that there are two kinds ofmodes when you use it.Command mode:If you turn on your computer and start communication by a communication program,you can see a prompt on the terminal screen. Under such conditions, you can use ATcommands like calling, etc.DATA ModeIn command mode, you can call by using AT commands and communicate with othersby connecting to other modems. You can call this status Data mode or On-line mode.In data mode, You can't use any AT commands except the +++ command, which has+++ at the head.If you stop communication and disconnect the phone, the Fax modem will run incommand mode again.Using Command Mode during CommunicationsSometimes, you have to use AT command while you're communicating with others viamodem. In this case, you can use +++ command for AT command without hanging upyour telephone. Pressing '+' three times makes fax modem change to command mode.Of course, the telephone is not disconnected. (Don't enter Enter key after input +++)
62 Using the ModemConnection may be lost depending on the server.If you want return to Data mode from command mode, you only have to input ATOand press the Enter key to start the communications again.The mode can not be transferred from the command mode to data modedepending on the server.Using AT commandsAT commands can be used in the following way. There's no difference between capitalletters and small letters, and all commands should include 'AT' as a prefix except ones,which include 'A/' instead.Also, Carriage Return saved in the S3 register should be entered in order to sign theend of the command.AT commandPress Enter keyExample: ATDT 123-4567Press Enter and the modem dials to 123-4567Display the result valueAfter entering AT commands, the result value is displayed on the screen.The result value can be displayed during communication. Generally, the result will beOK. According to the ATV command, the result can be displayed as Words or numeralletters. (ATV0: Display as numeral letters, ATV1: Display as English words)Basic AT CommandsA/ Repeats the previous command in the bufferATA Responds manually to incoming RING signals+++ Switches from on-line mode to command modeATO Switches from command mode to on-line modeATEn Echo controlE0 Disables echoing of the commands to the screenE1 Enables echoing of the commands to the screen
