POWER
MANAGEMENT
HINTS
• Use AC power when available to lengthen the battery’s usable life. The
battery will charge automatically as you run on AC power, so leave the
battery in the Tablet PC while you are working.
• Use AC power when installing software or writing to a CD, and, for best
performance, when using a DVD player.
• When using battery power, if you leave the Tablet PC unattended, place
the system in Stand By or Hibernate.
• Keep in mind that the display, processor, PC Cards, wireless cards, and
accessory drives all draw on the battery, so adjust properties and disable
unused accessories and PC Cards when operating on battery power.
• When running on battery, adjust the power mode and display brightness
to lower settings to prolong the battery life.
• Turn off all wireless devices when not being used through Dashboard.
• Enable the Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) through Dashboard. See the
section “Saving Battery Power with the Ambient Light Sensor.”
