Before your computer runs out of battery power, save your data and take one of the following actions: ❖ Suspend or turn off your computer. ❖ Turn off your computer and replace the main battery with a charged one. ❖ Connect your computer to an AC power source. Conserving battery power How long a fully charged battery lasts when you are using the computer depends on a number of factors, such as: ❖ How the computer is configured ❖ How much you use the display panel instead of an external monitor ❖ How much you use the hard disk and other drives ❖ Whether you use any optional devices to which the battery supplies power, such as a PC Card ❖ Where you are working-since operating time decreases at low temperatures
