Battery Power
If you often use the computer with the AC adaptor connected, and if you want to prevent deterioration of the battery pack,
we recommend that you enable the Economy Mode (ECO).
Switching the Economy Mode (ECO)
1 Right-click either (Disable) or (Enable) on the notification area.
If or is not displayed, click [start] - [All Programs] - [Panasonic] - [Battery] - [Economy Mode(ECO) Setting
Utility].
2 Click [Economy Mode(ECO) Enable] or [Economy Mode(ECO) Disable].
z If [Economy Mode(ECO) Enable] is set and remaining battery power is 81% or more
The battery will discharge until the remaining battery power is 80% or less.
A When the confirmation message is displayed, read the message on the screen carefully, and click [OK].
B Use the computer with the AC adaptor unplugged until the remaining battery power is 80% or less.
When the remaining battery power falls to 80% or less, battery discharge ends, and the Economy Mode (ECO)
indicator lights.
If you continue using the computer with the AC adaptor, it may take about a day until the remaining battery
power falls to 80%.
C When the confirmation message is displayed, read the message on the screen carefully, and click [OK].
D Connect the AC adaptor.
If you do not click [OK] at step C, the computer will go into forced standby after about three minutes to prevent
the remaining battery power from dropping.
• The computer will go into forced standby even while application software is running or data is being sent or
received, or when the hard disk is being accessed, so be sure to connect the AC adaptor.
NOTE
z After disconnecting the battery pack, if you connect it to a computer on which the Economy Mode (ECO) settings differ,
the battery will either recharge or discharge until the next time the computer is turned on, giving priority to the battery
pack setting on that computer.
