Conserving battery power
To conserve power while using the battery to power your notebook:
■ Dim the display as low as is comfortable.
■ Remove PC Cards and IBM Microdrive cards when you do not need
them. Many PC Cards and Microdrive cards use a small amount of
power while inserted, even if they are not being used.
■ Modify the power management settings for maximum power
savings.
■ Close the LCD panel to turn off the display while you are not using
your notebook. The display stays off until you open the panel again.
■ Use Hibernate mode for maximum power savings while your
notebook is not in use.
