3-2 Battery and Power Management

Battery Pack
The rechargeable battery pack supplies power to your Qbe when
external power is not connected.
The average operating time of a battery pack is 2.5 hours for a Li-Ion
battery pack. The operating time can be prolonged if Power
Management is activated. However, actual operating time can vary,
depending on several factors; these could be the Power Management
settings, the software in use, the brightness of the display, and the system
configuration.
If you wish to extend the operating time when using battery power, you
can use an additional battery pack. (See the "Additional Battery Pack”
section later in this chapter.)
Initializing the Battery Pack
To assure optimal performance, initialize a battery pack before you use it
for the first time. Initialization means discharging and fully recharging
twice. This procedure could take a few hours.
1. Make sure the AC adapter is not connected and the battery pack is
installed.
2. Turn on the Qbe.
3. Select the "Run SCU Setup” item using the arrow key and then
press [Enter] to run SCU.
4. Leave the power on.
5. Wait until the battery is fully discharged and the power is off.
6. Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
7. Repeat steps 2 to 7.
