Use the lowest brightness and contrast display settings.
* Avoid using "reverse video". The white text on a black background uses significantly less power than black on white. Develop good, consistent work habits. Set the power management features ac-
cording to your style. For example, if you do not read from or write to the hard disk very often, set the hard disk time-out setting to a very short time.
+ Plan each computing session ahead of time. Dont waste valuable time and power thinking about what to do,
* Disable the cache if you do not need it. 4-3,2 Changing the Battery Pack To change the battery pack:
1. Loose two screws from battery pack of the two sides. 2. To pull handle from battery pack. 3. Take the battery pack out. 4. Put another battery pack back in the battery pack house and make sure that the removal strap is available for future changes.
