Battery Information
Please follow these simple guidelines to get the best use out of your battery.
New Battery
Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (see “Battery FAQ”
on page D - 26 for instructions on how to do this).
Battery Life
Your computer’s battery life is dependent upon many factors, including the programs
you are running, and peripheral devices attached. Power Options (you may set low
battery Alarms and actions, and check the Power Meter from the Power Options
control panel), and settings in the OS will help prolong the battery life if configured
appropriately.
Low Battery
Warning
When the battery is critically low, immediately
connect the AC/DC
adapter to the computer
or save your work, otherwise, the unsaved
data will be lost when
the power is depleted.

(Alarm & Power
Meter)
Battery Information D - 23

Windows XP Information
Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life and improve its performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once every 30 days.
We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. If you need to remove the battery for any reason,
see “Removing the Battery” on page 6 - 3.
Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter
The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached and plugged into an electrical outlet. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it will take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the
computer is turned off but plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. (Refer to “LED Indica-
tors” on page 1 - 7 for information on the battery charge status, and to “Battery Information” on page D - 23
for more information on how to maintain and properly recharge the battery pack.)
Conserving Battery Power
To conserve battery power:
Lower the brightness level of the LCD display. The system will decrease LCD brightness slightly to save power when it is not powered by
the AC/DC adapter.
Close modem or communication applications when they are not being used.
D
Remove any unused PC Cards from the computer (PC Cards quickly use up battery power even if the system enters sleep mode).
Disconnect any unnecessary external devices.
D - 24 Battery Information
Proper handling of the Battery Pack
• DO NOT disassemble the battery pack under any circumstances
• DO NOT expose the battery to fire or high temperatures, it may explode
• DO NOT connect the metal terminals (+, -) to each other
Damaged Battery Warning
Should you notice any physical defects (e.g. the battery is bent ou t of shape after being
dropped), or any unusual smells emanating from the notebook battery, shut your computer
down immediately and contact your service center. If the battery has bee n d roppe d we do
not recommend using it any further, as even if the computer continues to work with a damaged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire . It is
recommended that you replace your computer battery every two years.

Windows XP Information
Battery FAQ
Caution
Danger of explosion if
battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the
same or equivalent type
recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard
used battery according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
How do I completely discharge the battery?
Use the computer with battery power until it shuts down due to a low battery. Don’t
turn off the computer by yourself even when you see a message that indicates the battery is critically low, just let the computer use up all of the battery power and shut
down on its own. Disable the Power Options functions in the Control Panel, espe-
cially any Alarms (unclick the tickboxes - see page D - 23) and Schemes (change
all the settings to Never - see page D - 18). As the battery nears the end of its life save
and close any critical files.
How do I fully charge the battery?
When charging the battery, don’t stop until the LED charging indicator light changes
from orange to green.
How do I maintain the battery?
Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after
about 20 partial discharges.

Security Modules (Fingerprint & TPM)
The encrypted channel between the Trusted Platform Module security chip and
the optional fingerprint reader with Protector Suite Software provides a high lev-
el of security for your computer. A further level of security and control is provided
in the BIOS (see “Security Menu” on page 5 - 10).
The fingerprint reader and Protector Suite Software allow you to:
• Access or Lock your computer
• Protect sensitive files
• Display and file your favorite web pages
• Fill in frequently used dialogs
• Run your favorite applications
The TPM security chip allows you to create and manage digital certificates for user
and platform authentication. This type of security is usually administered within
large enterprises and organizations, and therefore requires implementation by a system administrator before users can access security features.
Individual users can use the TPM as an authentication with the fingerprint reader.
Password Warning
If you set passwords for
any of the security modules, NEVER forget your
password.
The consequences of
this could be serious. If
you cannot remember
your boot password you
must contact your vendor and you may lose all
of the information on
your hard disk.
See overleaf for information installing and configuring the Protector Suite Software, and see “Trusted Platform Module” on page 7 - 25 for information on TPM.
