■
When you run the
N6200 Series LifeBook
on battery power, by
default, the CPU will
slow down approxi-
mately by half in order
to optimize battery life.
This feature can be
enabled or disabled in
the BIOS. Use an AC
Adapter whenever
possible.
■
The Lithium ion battery
is not charged upon
purchase. Initially, you
will need to connect the
AC adapter to use your
LifeBook notebook.
