To change display timeout settings, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Power Meter. Select a short wait time from the Turn Off Monitor drop-down list, and then select OK. For more details about using power options, refer to the "Power" chapter in the Software Guide on the this CD. Storing a Battery Pack Ä CAUTION: To prevent damage to the battery pack, do not expose it to high temperatures for extended periods of time. If the notebook will be unused and unplugged for more than 2 weeks, remove and store the battery pack. High temperatures accelerate the self-discharge rate of a stored battery pack, so place it in a location that is cool and dry. Before using a battery pack that has been stored for one month or more, calibrate it. This insures that the battery information displayed by your notebook is accurate. Hardware Guide 3-11
