Smart Battery Operation
Your DIGITAL HiNote Ultra 2000 uses a Smart Battery. The battery has circuitry that reports
the amount of charge in the battery to the system.
Initial Use – To properly initialize the circuitry that reports the state of the battery charge, you
should:
1. Fully charge the battery.
2. Fully discharge the battery. To fully discharge the battery, use the notebook computer on
battery power until the computer enters suspend mode because of a critically low battery
state.
3. Fully charge the battery.
Regular Use – To help maintain the accuracy of the circuitry that reports the state of the
battery charge, it is recommended that you allow the battery to go through a full charge and
discharge cycle at periodic intervals.
Power Management Modes
Your notebook computer is factory-configured with preset power management values. If you
are not an advanced user, start by using the factory-configured power management settings. If
you find that the factory settings do not fit your specific needs, enter the System Setup Program
and make the needed changes. The System setup program is entered by pressing the [fn] +
[F3] keys, when prompted, during system bootup.
If you choose to set your own power saving features, you should understand how it affects
battery run time and system performance before changing a setting.
The power management features are designed to conserve as much power as possible by
putting the notebook’s components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible.
These low power modes are referred to as Standby and Suspend.
For additional information on power management, refer to the on-line documentation that came
with your notebook computer.
