2.1.3.3 Create a power plan
Besides three preset power plans offered in Windows Vista, you can also customize your
own power plan. Select create a power plan on the left pane of the Power Options window
to begin configuring your power settings.
2.1.4 Speed Step
Your notebook is equipped with Speed Step technology to better manage power consumption. It
changes the processor speed to find the best balance between your computing performance and
power consumption needs. Higher speeds bring better performance, but the slower speed
conserves more power.
In Windows Vista, the processor’s performance level depends on the Power Scheme you select
(see 7.1.3 Power Options Properties). You do not need to make any further adjustments to set
the performance level. Each preset power scheme has different time-out settings for entering
Sleep Mode, Hibernate Mode, shutting down the display, or turning off the hard drive.
For example, the Windows Vista automatically changes Speed Step Modes depending on
running the AC power or batteries in order to prolong the battery usage while still providing
optimal performance.
You can also individually alter and save each of these settings and schemes if desired.
Choose from the following three power plans that describe the desired relationship between
power and performance.

The Battery Performance can be varied with on the different operating conditions. Your battery
may last less time if you are running power-intensive programs, playing CDs or DVDs, or setting
the high display-brightness.
The Power Management Options can be set to alert you when the battery charge is low.
Ensure any battery you use is compatible. Failure to do so may risk fire or
explosion. For more details on purchasing compatible batteries, please
contact your notebook retailer.
Batteries should never be disposed of the household waste. Contact your
local waste disposal or environmental agency for advice on disposing of the
used lithium-ion batteries.

2.2.3 Power Meter
The power meter
indicates the remaining battery charge. When your notebook is running on
battery power, you can double click the
icon on the taskbar to check the remaining battery
charge. If you want to know more details about how to make the icon appear on the taskbar if it is
not already, please see 7.1 Power Management
2.2.4 Low-Battery Warning
After a low-battery warning, save your work immediately and then connect
your notebook to an electrical outlet. Hibernate Mode will begin
automatically if the battery runs completely out of power.
You will hear the low-battery warning when the battery charge is approximately 90 percent
depleted. Your notebook will beep once, indicating approximately 10 to 15 minutes of battery
operating time remain. If you do not connect your notebook to alternative power source during
that time, there will be a periodic beep. Your notebook will automatically enter Hibernate Mode if
battery charge reaches a critically low level. For more information, see 7.1 Power Management.
2.2.5 Charging the Battery
When connected to an electrical outlet, a completely discharged 4-cell
battery needs to be charged in 3.5 to 12 hours, and an 8-cell battery in 5 to
12 hours (depending on whether your notebook is on or off and what
programs are running). You can leave the battery in your notebook as long
as you like. The battery’s internal circuitry prevents the battery from
overcharging.
Before using the battery for the first time it must be charged. Connect your notebook to an
electrical outlet and allow the battery to fully charge, indicated by the battery indicator light on the
front panel of your notebook.
Once a battery pack is fully charged for the first time, please use your
notebook on battery power until the battery discharges completely. This will
extend the battery life, and helps to ensure the accurate monitoring of the
battery capacity.

If necessary, the battery will be charged whenever your notebook is connected to an electrical
outlet.
The battery will not be charged if it or your notebook is too hot to use. If this situation occurs,
the battery indicator will light amber. Disconnect your notebook from any electrical outlet, and
allow it and the battery to cool down. You can then reconnect your notebook to the electrical
outlet and charge the battery. The battery indicator will also light amber if the battery is bad
and needs replacing.
2.2.6 Low-Battery Warning
After a low-battery warning, save your work immediately and then connect
your notebook to an electrical outlet. Hibernate Mode will begin
automatically if the battery runs completely out of power.
You will hear the low-battery warning when the battery charge is approximately 90 percent
depleted. Your notebook will beep once, indicating approximately 10 to 15 minutes of battery
operating time remain. If you do not connect your notebook to alternative power source during
that time, there will be a periodic beep. Your notebook will automatically enter Hibernate Mode if
battery charge reaches a critically low level. For more information, see 7.1 Power Management.
2.2.7 Removing the Battery
Before removing the battery, ensure your notebook is turned off.
Move the battery lock to switch to the right (Unlock position).
Slide and hold the battery to release latch.
Remove the battery.
2.2.8 Installing a Battery
Slide the battery into the bay.
Press it into place gently but firmly until the latch locks it into place.
Slide the battery lock to switch back to the locked position.
2.2.9 Storing a Battery

2.2.10 Working With Extra Battery Packs
If you spend a lot of time traveling or work without connecting your notebook to an electrical outlet,
it may be a good idea to carry the additional battery packs so you can quickly replace a
discharged battery and continue working.
2.2.11 Maximizing Battery Life
A battery can be recharged many times, but over time it will lose its ability to hold a charge. To
maximize the battery life:
•
•
•
If you are not using your notebook for a long period, please remove the battery.

3.1 Introduction
The BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) Setup program is a menu driven utility that
enables you to make changes to the system configuration and tailor the operation of your
notebook to your individual work needs. A ROM-based configuration utility displays the
system’s configuration status and provides you with a tool to set system parameters.
These parameters are stored in nonvolatile battery backed-up CMOS RAM, which saves
this information even when the power is turned off. When the computer is turned back on,
the system is configured with the values found in CMOS. Via easy-to-use menus, you can
configure such items as:
ƒ Boot devices
The settings made in the Setup program intimately affect how your notebook performs. It
is important, therefore, to first understand all the available options, and second, to make
settings appropriate for the way you use your notebook. This chapter guides you through
the Setup program by providing the clear explanations for all Setup options.
A standard configuration has already been set in the Setup program by the factory
technicians. However, eventually you may want to customize your system to suit your
own performance needs. It is recommended that you read this chapter and become
familiar with the configurations that can be made in the BIOS.
The next section explains how to move around in the Setup program, as well as how
to specify and save your new settings. A brief discussion of the optional settings
among the different submenus follows.

¾
Accessing the BIOS Setup Program
Launching Submenus
Saving Changes and Exiting the Setup
Program
The Setup program has been designed to make it as easy to use as possible. It is a menu
driven program, which means you can scroll through the various directories and make
your selections among the various predetermined choices. If you accidentally configure a
setting, use the BIOS hot keys to return to the previous value. The hot keys are discussed
in more detail later in this chapter.
When turning on your notebook for the first time you may be prompted to run the BIOS
Setup program. A warning message may appear on the screen if the hardware
configuration is changed or the POST fails. This message will inform you of any errors or
invalid settings and prompt you to run the Setup program to correct the problem.
Even if you are not prompted by a message instructing you to use the Setup program, at
some time in the future you may want to change the configuration of your notebook. It will
then be necessary to reconfigure your system using the Setup program so that your
notebook can recognize these changes.
The list below gives a few examples of reasons why you may want or need to run the
BIOS Setup program.
ƒ You have set up your notebook for the first time and you got a message stating that
you should run the BIOS Setup program.
ƒ You want to redefine the communication ports to prevent any conflicts.
The few examples listed above are by no means complete.
