USB port with charging function (Anytime USB charge)
You can use this USB port to charge or supply power to a USB device (e.g. to charge
a PDA or a mobile phone or to connect a USB lamp).
This is possible even whe n the notebook is switched off; in the BIOS-Setup-Utility in the
Advanced menu the function Anytime USB Charge must be activated. If the setting AC is selected
thereby, the device will only be charged when the AC adapter is connected.
Calling and using the BIOS-Setup-Utility is described in the section "
Settings
in BIOS Setup Utility", Page 71.

It is reco mmended that the notebook be operated with the AC ada pter connected
whenever the USB port with charging function is in use, as this function will drain
the battery more quickly if an external USB device is be ing charged.
The AC adapter must already b e connected when the notebook is switched
off, as otherwise the USB charging function will be d isabled and the
connected USB de vices will not b e charged.
Some USB devices (e.g. mobile telephony) require a driver in order to utilize the USB
charging function. In this case the USB charging function will not work when the
notebook is switched off, as no drivers are active when the notebook is switched off.

(Anytime USB charge) of the notebook.
