Leaving On the Computer
When you need to leave the computer unattended but don
’
t want
to turn if off, you can conserve power by initiating Suspend.
Always initiate Suspend when a battery pack is your only power
source. With a fully charged battery pack, Suspend extends the
battery operating time.
NOTE
:
Frequent discharging and recharging cycles shorten the life
of the battery pack.
Turning Off the Computer
1 Save open files.
2 Exit open applications.
3 Click Start Æ Shut Down.
If you plan to store the computer for two weeks or more, remove
the battery pack from the computer battery bay. This reduces the
battery discharge rate and extends battery pack operating life.
