Conserving battery power
Tips on conserving battery power
Whenever possible, work with the AC adaptor
connected and plugged in to the supply. That way,
the Pedion's internal battery recharges while you
work.
To pause briefly when working, close the LCD
panel. This puts the Pedion to sleep (Memory
Suspend mode). To resume working, open the
LCD panel and press the Power button.
For more lengthy interruptions in your work, press
the Power button and wait for everything to be
saved to disk (Disk Suspend mode). To resume
working, press the Power button again.
When you've finished work, shut down Windows
in the normal way. This automatically turns off
the Pedion.
For more information, see the chapter on "Battery and
Power Management" in the Owner's Handbook.
