Reducing Power Consumption
Although your laptop (together with the operating system) is capable of
power conservation, there are measures you can take to reduce the power
consumption:
Use the AC power whenever possible.•
Lower the intensity of the display backlight. A very bright screen translates •
to higher power usage.
Switch to the Stealth mode to activate additional system power savings. •
Switching into and out of Stealth mode may require a reboot depending on
your computer conguration and the operating system.
NOTE: e battery pack should be locked in the battery compartment all
the time.
