Power-Saving Tips
Aside from enabling your tablet PC’s power saving mode (see previous
section), you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by
following these suggestions.
z Do not disable Power Management.
z Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
z Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.
z Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a
USB mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and
using the optional touchscreen pen. If you use a USB flash drive,
unplug it when you are not using it.
z If you work with an application that uses a PC card, exit the
application when you finish using it.
z If you have a PC card installed, remove it when not in use. Some PC
cards drain power even while they are inactive.
z Deactivate the Wireless LAN function if you are not using it
(see Chapter 2).
z Deactivate the Bluetooth wireless feature if you are not using it
(see Chapter 2).
z Turn off the tablet PC when you are not using it.
