Conserving Battery Power
3-11
The following tips can help you prolong the life
of a battery charge:
q Keep the display at the lowest comfortable
brightness and contrast level. Reducing
brightness and contrast even a small
amount can significantly reduce power
consumption and increase operating time.
q Set the power management settings in
Setup to optimize the time-outs.
q You can minimize the number of times the
computer needs to access the hard disk
drive by using disk caches or RAM disks.
q Disconnect or turn off external options that
you are not using.
q Use only Texas Instruments options. These
options are designed to operate with the
least possible energy consumption. Third-
party options (such as RAM and mouse
devices) can drain the battery more quickly.
