34 Users Manual Dolby Digital & Dolby Theater System Your computer supports Dolby Digital & Dolby Theater System through a SPDIF connector, located next to the volume control wheel on the left side of the computer. You must have a 3.5 mm (mono)- to RCA cable to use this port. Volume Control Using the Wheel Volume Control Simply turn the wheel located on the left side of the computer. Using the Keyboard Changing the volume with your keyboard. Use <Fn+F9> to decrease the volume or <Fn+F10> to increase the volume. Using the Volume Control Icon Double-Click icon in the active program tray. The Volume Control window pops up. Use this window to adjust the volume. You can pop up a simple volume slider by a single click icon. Wheel Volume Control Using the Battery 35 Using the Battery Your computer uses a smart rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack for power when the AC adapter is not attached to an electrical outlet. The smart battery gives a accurate measurement of the current battery capacity which helps extend operating time by enabling effective power management in operating systems that take advantage of the accurate information supplied by the battery. Charging the Battery Your computer’s battery starts charging automatically when you connect the power to the computer and to an electrical outlet. If the computer is off, the battery charges faster than if the computer’s power is on. Approximate charging times for the Li-Ion battery are •3 hours with the computer off. •6 hours with the computer on. While the battery is charging normally, the battery charge light on the computer is red. When the battery is fully charged, the light changes to green. When you use a new battery pack for the first time or use a battery after a long period of storage, the initial battery life is shorter than normal. Normal battery life resumes after a few discharge-recharge cycles. Follow these rules for charging your battery: •A battery normally discharges power when not used for long periods of time. Be sure to recharge the battery every two months when it is not in use. •Make it a practice to discharge your battery fully before recharging the battery. This can help extend the life of the battery. •Do not attempt to charge the battery in temperatures of under 5 o C or over 35 o C All batteries eventually wear out and lose the ability to hold a charge. You may need to replace your battery pack after a year of average usage. 36 Users Manual Safely Using the Battery Follow these guidelines to safely use the battery: •Turn off your computer and unplug it if you accidentally: – Expose the equipment to liquid. – Drop, jar, or damage the computer. •Use only approved battery chargers. •Do not disassemble the battery, heat it above 100°C, or burn it. The battery used in this computer may cause a fire or chemical burn if mistreated. •Your computer's rechargeable battery may be considered hazardous waste. If you replace your battery with a new one: – Keep the old battery out of the reach of children. – Dispose of the old battery promptly. – Make sure that you follow all local requirements when you dispose of the old battery. Removing the Battery Your computer comes with the battery pack inserted in the computer. To remove the battery from the computer: 1.Turn the computer’s power off. 2.Close the LCD panel, and turn the computer over so that the bottom of the unit faces up. 3.Slide the battery compartment cover straight up and off the computer. 4.Grasp the tab on the battery and pull the battery out of the compartment. Using the Battery 37 Installing the Battery To install the battery pack: 1.With the computer’s power off, close the LCD panel and turn the computer over so the bottom of the unit faces up. 2.Slide the battery compartment cover straight up and off the computer. Insert the battery into the battery compartment, ensuring the correct orientation so that the battery fits in its slot properly. 3.Slide the battery pack into the compartment. Make sure the battery is fully inserted into the compartment. 4.Align the tabs on the battery compartment cover with the slots on the battery compartment. 5.Push the cover straight down until it snaps into place. Monitoring the Battery Charge Battery life is affected by factors such as the power-management settings in System Setup, the applications you use, and the brightness settings of the LCD. Under normal usage, the battery charge lasts approximately 3 hours. Battery life estimates are subject to variation. The actual life of your battery may be less than the estimates given in the manual. You can monitor the charge of the battery pack installed in your computer by using the Power Meter or Battery Gauge. 38 Users Manual Power Meter The Power Meter displays the charge of the batteries and the current source of computer power, AC or batteries. You may monitor the battery charge or usage by using the “Power Meter”. To access the power meter click icon on the task bar or click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Options > Power Meter Tab. You may also check battery charge by moving the cursor to the icon, a small dialog box will display the % of charge. Battery Gauge You may display the battery gauge while you are in any program by pressing <Fn+F6>. While the battery gauge is being displayed, all keys except <Esc> are disabled. The battery gauge is only displayed for a few seconds. Power Source: •Indicates that the computer is powered by the AC adapter. •Indicates that the computer is powered by the battery. Battery Level: •The top/right section indicates the approximate amount of the primary battery charge remaining. The Power Status icons shown below are displayed during Battery Charging Operations At ~15% and 10% remaining battery power the current power source and the battery Icons respectively change to the icon shown below and you should follow the instructions in “Battery Warnings” section below Using the Battery 39 Battery Warnings If the battery charge is …

Standby vs. Hibernation Standby unlike hibernation mode does not store unsaved information on your hard disk; it's stored only in the computer memory. If there is an interruption in power, the information is lost. So before putting your computer on standby, you should save your files. Changing Devices: Do not change PC Cards while in standby or hibernate modes. To enter the power management window complete the following: 1.Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. 2.Click Power Options icon to display the Power Options Properties window. 3.Click the Power Schemes tab to display the basic power management options. 4.Select the time that you wish each of the following actions to occur in Battery and AC power mode. •Turn off monitor: •Turn off hard disks: •System standby: •System hibernates: Power Schemes Tab Matrix 3 Plus (Windows 2000) - English.fm Page 53 Thursday, April 18, 2002 10:35 AM 54 Users Manual Turning off the monitor and HDDs will save a substantial battery power, therefore when in battery only mode select the shortest time practical. a Hibernate Mode (Power Management or Manual Method) When hibernation is used, your computer turns off and when you power up again, everything is restored exactly as you left it—including programs and documents you may not have saved or closed. Everything in memory gets saved to the HDD, and the monitor and hard disk get turned off. If You Reinstall Windows: You should re-establish hibernate in power options by opening Power Options Properties window and click on the Hibernate tab then click “Enable Hibernation”. Frequent Interruptions: If you experience frequent interruptions, you might also consider putting your computer into automatic hibernation after a specified number of minutes using the power management options. a Standby Mode (Power Management or Manual Method) Standby is used mainly for conserving battery power in your notebook computer. It also gives you the benefit of getting right back to your work without waiting for the computer to restart. Standby turns off your monitor and hard disks, placing your entire system in a low-power state. When you return to your computer, restores your desktop exactly as you left it. It is recommended that you do not enter standby mode with less than 20% battery power. 5.Click OK to set your power management options and close the window.
