ENGLISHChapter 5 — Power ManagementPower Management Battery Calibration The first time you use a battery, you should calibrate it. The calibration process empties and charges the battery one time. This allows the Windows battery gauge to accurately monitor battery status. To calibrate a battery, follow these steps:1. Plug in the AC adapter. 2. Restart the computer and when the startup screen appears, press Del key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. 3. In the BIOS Setup Utility, select Advance settings. , choose Battery learning, then press enter.Execute Battery Learning function?[OK] [Cancel]4. Press <OK> at the above Battery Auto Calibration dialog to begin the battery calibration..Battery Calibration will take from 4 to 8 hours, depending on howmuch power the battery may already contain.Note: For optimum performance, we recommend calibrating the battery again every three months. Each time you charge and discharge a battery, it loses a tiny part of its storage capacity, so that, over time, it will store less than its potential charge. Similarly, if you do not use the battery for a few days, it will slowly self-discharge, and when it is recharged, it will hold less than 100% of the potential charge.46
ENGLPower Management — Monitoring Battery PowerISH47Monitoring Battery Power There are two ways to monitor how much power the battery has left. 1. Click start/ControlPanel/Power Options; then click Power Meter.2. Moving the cursor to the battery icon on the taskbar is the simplest way to check on battery power status.If you do not see the battery icon, enable it in Start /Control Panel/Power Options. Choose the Advanced tab and click “Always show icon on the taskbar.” Low Battery Alarms How your computer responds to a low battery condition is set under Start/Control Panel/Power Options/Alarms.Two different power alarms can be enabled or disabled: the Low Battery Alarm, and the Critical Battery Alarm. Use the slidebar to setthe power level at which the alarms are activated. Click on the Alarm Action button to choose whether the alarm sounds, displays a message, or both.Warning: When battery power is low, the Notebook will display a warning on the screen. Take immediate action, such as saving files or connecting to the AC adapter, or data may be lost.When the computer alerts you that the battery is low, immediately do one of the following: xConnect the AC power adapter
ENGLISHChapter 5 — Power ManagementxSave your work, turn off the computer and replace the discharged battery with a charged battery (See Changing the Battery below). Do not restart the computer until you have connected to an AC adapter, or replaced the discharged battery with a charged battery. Battery Charging When you use the AC adapter to connect your Notebook to a power outlet, the internal battery will automatically begin to recharge. While the battery is charging, the Battery Charge icon on the Indicator panel will be active. When the battery is fully charged, the Battery Chargeicon will turn off. If your computer is turned off or standby mode, a fully discharged battery will take about 3 hours to recharge.Note: A fully charged battery can run the Notebook for approximately 4 hours. (Pentium-M 1.4GHz)Power Saving Modes Adjust the default power management settings in the Power Options/ Advanced dialog box in the Control panel. The Power OptionsProperties dialog box allows you to set different actions to take when the computer is left idle for a certain amount of time.Suspend ModeThere are several possible settings for suspend mode, which can beselected in the Power Management dialog box: You may have the notebook standby, suspend, or you can power off the computer altogether.Initiating Suspend ModeThere are four ways to initiate suspend mode. The settings can be adjusted in the Power Management dialog box: 48
ENGLISHPower Management — Power Saving TipsxThe computer will automatically enter suspend mode when not used for a set period of time.xSelecting the Stand by button in the Shut Down Windows dialog box.xClosing the screen cover (assuming no external monitor has been connected).xPressing the power button (if enabled in power settings).xPressing the suspend function key <Fn> + <F4>. Power Button Settings The function of the power button can be set to Shutdown or Standby inthe Power Management Properties dialog box in the Windows ControlPanel. However, holding the power button down for more than fourseconds will force a power off while operating under any situation, resulting in the loss of any unsaved information. Power Saving TipsxAvoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using battery power. Operating a fax modem, video, or audio equipment increases the computer's power requirements.xDecreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease brightness by pushing <Fn> + <F6>. Increase it by pushing <Fn> + <F7>.49
ENGLISHChapter 5 — Power ManagementWhen to Replace the BatteryOver time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to storesignificantly less charge. Changing the BatteryChange the main battery pack as follows:1. Turn off the computer.2. Close the screen cover and turn the computer over. 3. Slide the side battery latch (1) away from the battery. Continue to hold it until the battery is removed. 4. Push in the latch on the battery (2) while lifting the battery out of the compartment. Remove the battery. 5. Make sure the replacement battery is properly orientated. Slide back the side battery latch (1) then insert the battery into the battery compartment.Check that the latch locks back intoposition.50
ENGLISHPower Management — Heat ConsiderationsHeat Considerations The computer's processor has been specially designed to consumelittle power, and generates very little heat. However, working in a hotenvironment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature. Your computer takes the following steps to lower temperature: 1. The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You may feel air coming from a vent at the left side when this happens.2. If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this happens.51
