Power Step 2: Discharging the Battery Pack Ä CAUTION: To prevent loss of information, save your work before beginning an unattended discharge procedure. The computer must remain on throughout the discharge process. The battery pack can discharge whether or not you are using the computer, but the battery pack will discharge faster if the computer is in use. If you use the computer occasionally during the discharge process described below and energy-saving timeouts have been disabled, expect the following performance from your system during the discharge: ■ Any unsaved work from your current session will be lost when the battery pack is fully discharged and the computer is shut down. ■ The system will not turn off a connected optional monitor. ■ The system will not decrease hard drive speed while the computer is idle. ■ System-initiated hibernation will not occur. To fully discharge the battery pack: 1. Disable hibernation. To disable hibernation: Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab. Then clear the Enable hibernation check box. 2. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Power Schemes tab. 3. Record all settings in the Plugged in column and all settings in the Running on batteries column, so that you can reset them after calibration. 4. Use the drop-down lists to set each item in both columns to Never. 5. Click OK. Hardware and Software Guide 3-27
