240 Running the computer on battery power Running the computer on battery power To ensure that the battery pack maintains its maximum capacity, operate the computer on battery power at least once a month until the battery pack is fully discharged. Refer to "Maximizing battery life" on page 110 for procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power, either through an AC adapter or a docking station for an extended period, more than a month, the battery may fail to retain a charge. It may not function efficiently over the expected life of the battery and the Battery LED may not indicate a low-battery condition. For more information on running your system on battery power, consult "Running the computer on battery power" on page 108. Powering down the computer When you power down the computer, you have three options to choose from: ❖ Shut down, which powers off the computer ❖ Hibernation, which saves the current operating mode to the hard disk and powers off the computer ❖ Standby, which saves the current operating mode to memory and enters a low power mode Each option has its advantages. NOTE: Avoid turning off the power while a disk light on the system indicator panel is on. Doing so may damage your hard disk, diskette drive, DVD-ROM or DVD-ROM /CD-RW multifunction drive.
