The current power source and battery power remaining section displays the current charge state of the battery. The value displays as a percentage of remaining battery charge. TECHNICAL NOTE: The computer drains the battery faster at low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The computer calculates the remaining battery charge based on your current rate of power use and other factors such as the age of the battery. 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 120 Mobile Computing Monitoring battery power Where you are working--since operating time decreases at low temperatures Toshiba's power-saving options greatly increase the length of time you can use the computer before it becomes necessary to recharge the battery. Toshiba has combined these options into preset power usage modes. What to do when the battery runs low When the battery runs low you can: Plug the computer into an external power source and recharge the battery. Put the computer in Hibernate mode and replace the battery with a charged spare. Save your work and turn off the computer. If you do not manage to do any of these things before the battery completely runs out of power, the computer automatically enters Hibernate mode and turns itself off. Hibernate mode keeps track of where you were so, when you turn on the power again, you can continue where you left off. Ensure the battery release latch clicks into place. Move the battery release lock to the right to lock the release latch. Reconnect the cables and turn on the computer. Mobile Computing Taking care of your battery 125 Taking care of your battery The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your battery and prolong its life. Safety precautions If the battery pack produces an odor, overheats or changes color or shape while it is being used or charged, turn off the computer's power immediately and disconnect the power cord from the power socket. Carefully remove the battery pack from the computer. Do not try to disassemble a battery pack. Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. Overcharging will shorten its life, and reverse charging could damage it. Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with another metal object. Short-circuiting the battery can cause it to overheat and may cause damage to the battery or the computer. Do not incinerate a spent battery, as this could cause it to explode and release toxic materials. If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately.
