Managing Power Chapter3- Managing Power AC Adapter The AC adapter performs two functions: - It powers the computer from an external AC source. - It charges the computer battery. The adapter automatically detects the AC line voltage (110V or 220V) and adjusts accordingly. The following are recommended when using the AC adapter: - Use a properly grounded AC outlet. - Use one AC outlet exclusively for the computer. Having other appliances on the same line may cause interference.
Managing Power Battery The computer will automatically switch to battery when the external power source (AC adapter or optional vehicle adapter) is disconnected. Battery Power Saving Tips The computer comes with an intelligent power-saving feature. You may extend the battery life by: Setup power saving functions in Operating System Power Management options (e.g. Windows Power Options). Lower the intensity of the display by brightness control.
Managing Power Battery Level You may check battery status from Operating System. In Windows, you can click the power/battery icon to reveal the battery gauge window. The following is the illustration of Battery Gauge in Windows OS. Note: Battery characteristic varies depending on factors such as ambient temperature, charging method, load current, aging, etc. For example, the chemicals of the battery are more inactive at low temperature, thus decreases the output power.
Managing Power Battery Recalibration Battery recalibration allows users to maintain the battery in a healthy condition. To perform battery recalibration, please follow the steps as below: 1. Update BIOS & EC to the latest version. 2. Insert the battery to the computer, and connect it to AC adapter. 3. Enter the BIOS => Choose “Advanced menu” => Choose “Battery Recalibration” => Press “Enter”. 4. When the “Start Battery Recalibration” pop-up appears, press “Yes” to continue.
Managing Power ACPI Support Your computer supports ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) for power management. With ACPI and an ACPI-compliant operating system (such as Microsoft Windows), this feature will allow you to reduce the power consumption and conserve energy. By supporting ACPI, the AC adapter LED and the Power indicator LED will show in different ways.
