TFT display,central processor,hard disk drive are the major hardware subsystems that consume the most power.Power
management deals how these keycomponentsshould behaveto conservepower.Forexample,youcan havethe system
turn off its display after 2 minutes of inactivity tosave power.Efficient power management can help you work longer
sessions before having to recharge the battery.
The Battery Pack
Lithium-Ion Battery
Your notebook uses asix-cell Lithium-Ion battery pack that provides power when you don’t have access to an AC outlet.
Note: It is necessary that you charge the battery pack for at least 6 hours before using it for the
first time. Note: In the Standby Suspend mode, a fully charged battery loses its power in
roughly 1/2 day or less. When not being used, the battery’s power will deplete in 1-2 month.
Battery Low-Power Warning
1.Low Battery Warning
Low battery condition occurs when battery power is reduced to 6%. The red battery status LED indicator blinks and the
system beeps once every 16 seconds or so.
2.Very Low Battery Warning
Very Low battery condition occurs at 3 % power remaining. The red battery status LED indicator blinks and the system
beepsat 4-second interval.
When the notebook warns you of its low battery condition, you will have about 3-5 minutes to save your current work.
Warning: Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0 degree Celsius (32 degree F) or
above 60 degree C (140F). This may adversely affect the battery pack.
Note: Press Fn+F3 to turn off the battery warning beep.
