Power Saving Tips
• Avoid operating the fax/modem, or audio and video applications when using
battery power. Operating a fax modem, video, or audio equipment increases
the computer's power requirements.
• Decreasing monitor brightness can also save power. Decrease brightness by
pushing <Fn> + <F6>. Increase it by pushing <Fn> + <F7>.
When to Replace the Battery
Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you
replace your battery when you notice that it begins to store significantly less charge.
Changing the Battery
Change the main battery pack as
follows:
1. Turn off the computer.
2. Close the screen cover and turn the
computer over.
3. Slide the side battery latch (1) away
from the battery. Continue to hold it
until the battery is removed.
4. Push in the latch on the battery (2)
while lifting the battery out of the
compartment. Remove the battery.
5. Make sure the replacement battery
is properly orientated. Slide back the
side battery latch (1) then insert the
battery into the battery compartment.
Check that the latch locks back into
position.
Heat Considerations
The computer's processor has been specially designed to consume little power and
generates very little heat. However, working in a hot environment, or working for
long periods may raise the temperature. Your computer takes the following steps to
lower temperature:
1. The cooling fan will automatically turn on. You may feel air coming from a vent
at the left side when this happens.
2. If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be reduced. You
may notice a slight loss of performance when this happens.
