I NUMBER: S-0055 PAGE: 2 of 4 I Heavy use of the parallel, serial or RGB monitor ports can also reduce working time. Functionally, this is of less concern because devices that interface via these ports (with the exception of battery-powered printers and modems) will require AC power, allowing access to the LT's AC adapter. Battery Condition All NiCad batteries exhibit a phenomenon known as "memory". Essentially, if the battery is recharged a number of times without being fully discharged, it "remembers" the shorter times between charges. This is why you will see photographers discharge their electronic flash units before putting them away. Processor Speed The Equity LT employs the NEC V30 CPU, which is a low-power CMOS 8086-compatible processor. However, the 10 MHz speed setting will cause it to draw somewhat more power. In fact, on a dual FDD LT with the reflective LCD, the difference between 4.77 and 10 MHz can be as much as 48 minutes total life. Environment Extremes in temperature and humidity can effect not only battery charge life, but LCD performance as well. The standard rule of thumb applies here: If it's comfortable for you, your computer should function optimally.
