Getting Started 3

Checking Battery Power

The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under

the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately

report the amount of charge percentage left in the battery. A fully-

charged battery pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of

working power. But the actual figure varies depending on how

you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the

CPU, system memory size, and the size of the display panel.

To check the remaining battery power, move your cursor over the

power icon. The power icon is a “battery” when not using AC

power and a “plug” when using AC power. Double click on the

icon for more information and settings.

NOTE: If you ignore the low

battery warning, eventually

the Notebook PC enters

suspend mode (Windows

default uses STR).

WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is de-

pleted. Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small

amount of power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery deple-

tion or no power supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).

Battery Care

The Notebook PC’s battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can

be recharged. Fully draining and charging the battery once a day every day will last over a year but how

long beyond that will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and how your Notebook PC

is used. It is ideal that the battery be used in a temperature range between 10˚C and 29˚C (50˚F and

85˚F). You must also take into account that the Notebook PC’s internal temperature is higher than the

outside temperature. Any temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life of the battery.

But in any case, the battery pack’s usage time will eventually decrease and a new battery pack must be

purchased from an authorized dealer for this Notebook PC. Because batteries also have a shelf life, it is

not recommended to buy extras for storing.

NOTE: The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage

is too high. BIOS provides a smart battery refreshing function.

Move your mouse over the battery icon

for remaining power information.

When the AC power is connected,

charging status will be shown.

Right-click the battery icon for

sub-menus.

Left-click the battery icon for power

management settings.
