POWER MANAGEMENT
This chapter provides helpful information on maintaining and
managing battery pack power. You also will find useful
information about the Suspend and Hibernation features.
Leaving the Computer On
When you need to leave your computer unattended but you do not
want to turn it off, conserve power by initiating Suspend or
Hibernation.
NOTE: Frequent discharge/recharge cycles shorten battery
pack life.
Turning the Computer Off
To turn the computer off,
1. Save open files.
2. Shut down the computer.
The Start Å Shut Down command will close all applications and
automatically power off the system. This eliminates the need to
slide the power switch.
If you are working in DOS or if you experience a severe system
crash, you can use the power switch to turn the computer off.
Managing Power
Your computer comes with a collection of power management
features that allow you to extend battery operating time and
conserve power. Use power management to monitor most
computer components such as the hard drive, processor, and
display.
