Chapter 4 Power Management Power Management -- Power Management Power Management Battery Calibration The first time you use a battery, you should calibrate it. The calibration process empties and charges the battery one time. This allows the Windows battery gauge to accurately monitor battery status. To calibrate a battery, follow these steps: 1. Restart the computer and when the startup screen appears, press Del key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. In the BIOS Setup Utility, select Power Management Setup , choose Battery Auto Calibration, then press <Fn + PgDn>. Please make sure that AC adapter & Battery are present? Would you to do battery auto-learning?Press <Y> at the above Battery Auto Calibration dialog to begin the battery calibration. Please press [Space Bar] to select option, and [Enter] to continue. Battery Calibration will take from 8 to 10 hours, depending on how much power the battery may already contain. Note: For optimum performance, we recommend calibrating the battery again every three months. Each time you charge and discharge a battery, it loses a tiny part of its storage capacity, so that, over time, it will store less than its potential charge.
