524 Using the Notebook PCUsing Battery PowerA fully-charged battery pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But the actualfigure 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.Checking Battery PowerTo 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 formore information and settings.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 smallamount 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).NOTE: If you ignore the low battery warning, eventually the Notebook PC enters sus-pend mode (Windows default uses STR).WARNING! Never attempt to remove the battery pack while the power is ON, or if thesystem has not yet entered into the suspend mode as this may result in the data loss.Move your mouse over the batteryicon for remaining power information. Right-click the battery icon for sub-menus.Left-click the battery icon forpower management settings. When the AC power is connected,charging status will be shown.
