226 Windows 2000 Supplemental Information 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 132 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 lowbattery condition. For more information on running your system on battery power, consult "Running the computer on battery power" on page 123. 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. TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using any of these options to power down your computer, save your files and make sure the disk activity lights are off. If you change your mind and decide to continue working after all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.
