Power Management Power Management With Windows 7™, power consumption may be reduced through ‘Power plans’. This tool controls the interaction between hardware and system settings that manage how the computer uses energy, therefore the battery life and system performance can be balanced as well as enhanced. Checking the Battery Level You can check the remaining battery power in the Windows® battery status indicator located at the lower right-hand corner of the task tray. The Battery Status icon only appears in the task tray while the unit is running on the battery power but not while the unit is running off an external power source through the AC adaptor.

Power Management Sleep Power State This mode allows the computer to retain its workload in a minimum usage of energy as standby. When user returns, the work can be easily resumed no matter where it stopped. Advantages of sleep state: - All programs and informations during operation will automatically be saved to the hard-disk. - When using a mobile PC, Windows operating system will restore the previous work within seconds, it won’t be necessary to restart or re-open the files. - While sleeping, only approx. one-tenth the energy will be used comparing when running at full pow er, and a mobile PC typically uses one to two percent of battery power per hour. To save the energy further, Windows will automatically turn off the computer after a period of time based on the Sleep and Hibernation settings within the power plan. 21 Mobile for use anyhwere!

When to Replace the Battery Over time, the battery's capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery when you notice that it begins to show significantly less charge. Changing the Battery Change the main battery pack as shown below: *Slide battery latch to lift the cover, then insert battery into the compartment as illustrated. When the battery has been fully sealed, slide the latch backward to lock the lid up. Thermal Considerations The notebook processor has been specially designed to consume less power and generate less heat. However, working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature. If the temperature continues to rise, processor activity will be reduced. You may notice a slight loss of performance when this happens. 23
