Battery Charging

When you use the AC adapter to connect your GoBook II to a power outlet, the internal battery will

begin to recharge automatically. While the battery is charging, the Battery Power Indicator will be

flashing green. When the battery is fully charged, it will turn off.

If your computer is turned off, or suspended to RAM, a fully discharged battery will take about 4 hours

to recharge. If you computer is turned on and is not in suspend mode, it will take 4- 6 hours to recharge

the battery. Refer to the following table:

NOTE

a fully charged Li-Ion battery can run the GoBook II for approximately 3 hours or more.

Power Saving Modes

Adjust the default power management settings in the Power Management (Power Options) dialog box in

the Control Panel. The Power Management (Power Options) dialog box allows you to set different

actions to take when the computer is left idle for a certain amount of time.

Suspend Mode

There are several possible settings for suspend mode. You may Suspend to RAM, Suspend to Disk

(Hibernate), or disable suspend altogether, which is not recommended.

Suspend to RAM

In a suspend to RAM, the contents of your computer’s memory are held intact, while most of the

components in your computer either turn off completely, or reduce power consumption to a minimum.

In a Suspend to RAM, your computer remains active but with the minimum possible power

consumption. Return the computer to full power by pressing any key. A fully-charged battery can

maintain a Suspend to RAM for many hours.
