Power Selecting Power Conservation Settings To set the notebook to use less power: ■ Select a short wait for the screen saver and select a screen saver with minimal graphics and motion. To select a screen saver and a screen saver wait time: Select Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Display > Screen Saver tab, and then follow the instructions on the screen. ■ Select or create a power scheme that minimizes power use. The preset power scheme that maximizes battery conservation is Max Battery. For information about selecting or creating a power scheme, refer to "Setting or Changing a Power Scheme," earlier in this chapter. Storing a Battery Pack Ä CAUTION: To prevent damage to a battery pack, do not expose it to high temperatures for extended periods of time. If the notebook will be unused and disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove and store the battery pack. High temperatures, which may be present in parked cars or some workplaces, accelerate the self-discharge rate of a stored battery pack. To prolong the charge of a stored battery pack, place it in a location that is cool and dry. Calibrate a battery pack that has been stored for one month or more before using it. For instructions, refer to "Calibrating a Battery Pack," earlier in this chapter. Hardware and Software Guide 2-29
