For optimum DVD performance, Toshiba recommends that you 
play DVDs while running on AC power rather than on battery 
power.
Battery life is less than when using similar applications in the 
Windows operating system.
Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the 
computer, the brightness of the LCD Screen will deteriorate. 
This is an intrinsic characteristic of LCD technology.
Screen will dim when the computer is operated on battery 
power and you may not be able to increase the brightness of 
the screen.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The RTC battery does not charge while the 
computer is turned off, even when AC power is attached.
Charging the main battery
To charge the main battery while it is in your computer, plug 
the computer into a live electrical outlet. The battery charges 
whether the computer is on or off. 
TECHNICAL NOTE: When your computer is using all of the 
power provided by the AC Adaptor to run applications, 
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery can not 
occur. Your computer's Power Saver utility can be used to 
select a power level setting that reduces the power required for 
system operation and will allow the battery to recharge.
