Caution Extending battery life If you are using a multibay battery instead of a main battery, insert the weight saver that was included with your multibay battery into the main battery bay. To install a multibay battery: ■ Swap the multibay battery for a bay module by following the instructions in "Changing modules" on page 60. Extending battery life Conserving battery power To conserve power while using the batteries to power your convertible notebook: ■ Dim the display as low as is comfortable. ■ Remove 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. ■ Modify the power management settings for maximum power savings. Tips & Tricks For more information about using power management settings, see "Changing Power-Saving Settings" in Using Your Computer which has been included on your hard drive. To access this guide, tap or click Start, All Programs, then tap or click Gateway Documentation. ■ Close the LCD panel to turn off the display while you are not using your convertible notebook. The display stays off until you open the panel again. ■ Use Hibernate mode for maximum power savings while your convertible notebook is not in use. www.gateway.com 79
