• WHEN USING AC POWER YOUR BRIGHTNESS SETTING IS SET TO ITS HIGHEST LEVEL BY DEFAULT. WHEN USING

BATTERY POWER YOUR BRIGHTNESS SETTING IS SET TO APPROXIMATELY MID-LEVEL BY DEFAULT.

• THE HIGHER THE BRIGHTNESS, THE MORE POWER THE NOTEBOOK WILL CONSUME AND THE FASTER YOUR

BATTERIES WILL DISCHARGE. FOR MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE, SET THE BRIGHTNESS AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
