Maintaining battery power 95
Conserving battery power
While using the battery to power your notebook, conserve power by:
■ Dimming the display as low as is comfortable.
■ Removing PC Cards when you do not need them. Many PC Cards use a
small amount of power while inserted, even if they are not being used.
■ Modifying the Power Management settings for maximum power savings.
For more information on changing these settings, see “Changing power
settings” on page 100.
■ Closing the display panel to turn off the display while you are not using
your notebook. The display stays off until you open the panel again.
■ Enabling Hibernate mode support and using Hibernate mode for power
savings while the notebook is not in use. For more information on
Hibernate mode, see “To enable Hibernate support:” on page 104.
■ Using the CD/DVD drive only when necessary. CD and DVD drives use
a large amount of power.
