POWER
The power system of FlyBook includes an adapter and battery. Through the adapter, a power
source directly supplies the computer with power and charges the battery at the same time.
The battery supplies the computer with power only when the adapter is disconnected from the
power supply and it is not connected to FlyBook.
The computer controls power activities through an ACPI power management unit. The unit
minimizes power consumption and at the same time optimizes system performance. Windows
interacts and takes charge of all power-saving affairs for the computer.
Adapter
The adapter can be connected to most power sources, however it is a good idea to verify the
following before connecting the adapter to a power source:
• The voltage and frequency of the power source must always conform to the specifications of
the adapter.
• The power plug must connect perfectly to the power outlet.
Otherwise, do not link up the computer.
If the adapter connects properly with the power source, the green LED indicator will light up.
Battery system
With 3 2200mAH high-capacity Li-ion battery cells, if fully charged, the battery pack should
keep the computer working for various hours, depending on the applications and modes used.
Note
If the computer is being used for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged.
Recharging the battery
Periodically recharging the battery pack allows to prolong the battery life. It is a good idea to
do this every 2 or 3 months. The BIOS SETUP UTILITY provides a recovery utility. Please see
the BIOS setup utility section.
