Extending the battery use time
Decreasing the LCD Brightness
Decreasing the LCD brightness by pressing the <Fn>+< > key combination on the
keyboard or adjusting the brightness in the Battery Manager program extends the bat-
tery use time.
Decreasing the LCD brightness by one level extends the battery use time by 3~5%
(10~20 minutes). (The battery use time is determined by the corresponding model.)
