Power-Saving Tips
Aside from enabling your computer’s power saving mode (see previous
section), you can do your part to maximize the battery’s operating time by
following these suggestions.
Do not disable Power Management.
Decrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
Shorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.
Many USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB
mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the
touchpad. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using
it.
If you work with an application that uses a PC card, exit the application
when you finish using it.
If you have a PC card installed, remove it when not in use. Some PC cards
drain power even while they are inactive.
Turn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module.
Turn off the computer when you are not using it.
