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 SuspendtoRAM, SuspendtoDisk

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

SuspendtoRAM

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.

Suspend to Disk (Hibernate)

Suspend to Disk (Hibernate) is similar to turning off the computer, except that the current state of the

computer is copied to the hard disk

as a special file. When the computer returns from suspend mode, the

desktop appears with the same files and programs open as when the computer was suspended. Suspend

to Disk (Hibernate) is very useful when you don’t want to take the time to shut down all open programs

one by one to shut off the computer, only to have to open the same programs and files the next time you

use the computer. This mode is also called hibernation mode.
