44 Using the Battery
Using the Battery
Your computer uses a smart rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack for power
when the AC adapter is not attached to an electrical outlet. The smart battery gives a
accurate measurement of the current battery capacity which helps extend operating
time by enabling effective power management in operating systems that take
advantage of the accurate information supplied by the battery.
Charging the Battery
Your computer’s battery starts charging automatically when you connect the power to
the computer and to an electrical outlet. If the computer is off, the battery charges faster
than 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 is
amber (See ”System Status Lights” on page 25 for the location of the battery charge
light). 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 period
of storage, the initial battery life is shorter than normal. Normal battery life resumes
after 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. Be
sure 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. This
can help extend the life of the battery.
•Do not attempt to charge the battery in temperatures of under 50oF(10
oC) or over 90o
F(32
oC.)
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 45
Safely Using the Battery
Follow 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. The
battery used in this computer may cause a fire or chemical burn if mistreated.
•Your computer's rechargeable battery may be considered hazardous waste. If you
replace 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 of
the old battery.
Removing the Battery
Your computer comes with the battery pack inserted in the computer. To remove the
battery 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. Turn the computer over so that the bottom of the unit faces up.

Monitoring the Battery Charge
Battery life is affected by factors such as the power-management settings in System
Setup, the applications you use, and the brightness settings of the LCD. Under normal
usage, 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 your
battery may be less than the estimates given in the manual.
Power Meter
The Power Meter displays the charge of the batteries and the current source of
computer power, AC or batteries. You may monitor the battery charge or usage by
using the "Power Meter". To access the power meter click on the power meter icon
on the task bar or click Start > Control Panel > Power Options > Power Meter tab.
48 Using the Battery
Figure 37. Power Meter
You may also check battery charge by moving the mouse cursor to the power meter
icon, a small dialog box will display the % of charge.

Your computer gives you the following low-battery warnings (Table 3).
Table 3. Battery Warnings
The above features are valid with Windows 95 or any other APM compliant operating
systems. In the case of a Windows 98/ Me or any other ACPI compliant operating
system which is running on APM interface, you should adjust the battery alarm
features by using the operating systems power management program (Control Panel >
Power management in Windows 98/ Me).

Modem Commands
The 3Com Modem includes the basic commands used by the Smart Modem of the
Hayes Corporation. Some additional commands have been added to it to improve its
capacity.
What are AT commands?
AT commands are the control commands of Fax modems developed by the Hayes
Corporation. AT commands are the industry standard and necessary for any fax
modem. It is used with the S-register to set the modem status.
Using the Modem 61
Generally, AT commands are used by directly entering the command into any
communications 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 intelligent
nowadays, users do not have to know all the AT commands. Only a few basic
commands are enough for computer communications.
Before Using AT Commands
AT commands can be used by entering them into terminal-based communication
programs directly. (Hyper terminal, CrossTalk, Procomm, etc.)
CompuServe, America On-line applications are not terminal-based communication
programs, 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 a
menu having a modem initialization command.
What you have to know before using AT commands is that there are two kinds of
modes 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 AT
commands like calling, etc.
DATA Mode
In command mode, you can call by using AT commands and communicate with others
by 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 in
command mode again.
Using Command Mode during Communications
Sometimes, you have to use AT command while you're communicating with others via
modem. In this case, you can use +++ command for AT command without hanging up
your 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 Modem
Connection may be lost depending on the server.
If you want return to Data mode from command mode, you only have to input ATO
and press the Enter key to start the communications again.
The mode can not be transferred from the command mode to data mode
depending on the server.
Using AT commands
AT commands can be used in the following way. There's no difference between capital
letters 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 the
end of the command.
AT commandPress Enter key
Example: ATDT 123-4567Press Enter and the modem dials to 123-4567
Display the result value
After entering AT commands, the result value is displayed on the screen.
The result value can be displayed during communication. Generally, the result will be
OK. According to the ATV command, the result can be displayed as Words or numeral
letters. (ATV0: Display as numeral letters, ATV1: Display as English words)
Basic AT Commands
A/ Repeats the previous command in the buffer
ATA Responds manually to incoming RING signals
+++ Switches from on-line mode to command mode
ATO Switches from command mode to on-line mode
ATEn Echo control
E0 Disables echoing of the commands to the screen
E1 Enables echoing of the commands to the screen
