Handling your computer Maximizing battery-powered operation Whenever possible, use the ThinkPad battery power-saving modes: - Standby: The LCD and the hard disk drive are turned off. - Suspend: All tasks are stopped and stored in memory to save power. - Hibernation: All tasks are stopped. The memory data and the current status of the computer are stored in the hard disk drive; then the power is turned off. Decrease the LCD brightness. Use Advanced Power Management (APM). Each operating system comes with its own APM. Stop the power supply to the internal serial devices, including the modem, the serial port, and the infrared port, if they are not in use. Remove the battery pack and keep it in a cool place if you will not be using the computer for a long period. Ruggedized mobile computers Some professionals work in environments that may require special ruggedized features to protect their computers from extreme temperature, humidity, and physical punishment. Construction, public service, distribution, repair service, and utilities are some of the environmentally demanding professions that may require rugged mobile computers that can withstand stresses. For these applications, IBM offers such computers (not ThinkPad systems) especially designed for mobile professionals who need a system for managing and communicating information from the field.
