POWER SAVING MODES

This section contains information on the computer’ s power system,

including the AC Adapter, the battery system, recharging the

battery, and tips for conserving battery power.

The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and

the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall

outlet to the DC power required by the computer.

THE BATTERY POWER SYSTEM

Before using the computer on battery power for the first time,

check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make

sure the battery is fully charged.

See Battery Status later in this section for a description and

explanation of the Windows Battery icon. Charging the battery

takes about 3 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If

possible, always charge the battery completely.

If you use the battery so frequently that it exceed more than 20 times

by fully discharging/charging in a single month alone, we

recommend you to perform the “Battery Calibration” process every 3

months to maintain the battery life. Please refer to the topic on

“Battery Calibration” describing how to calibrate your system

battery discussed on the latter part of this chapter.

If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please perform the

“Battery Calibration” process immediately.
