Operating on
battery power
Your Aspire 2010 series notebook computer
operates on battery or AC power.
This chapter provides information for
operating on battery power, as well as
information on how your computer
manages and saves power.
33
English
English
Battery pack
The computer uses a battery pack that gives you long use between
charges.
Battery pack characteristics
The battery pack has the following characteristics:
• Employs current battery technology standards.
• Delivers a battery-low warning.
The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to an
external power supply. Your computer supports charge-in-use,
enabling you to recharge the battery while you continue to operate
the computer. However, recharging with the computer turned off
results in a significantly faster charge time.
The battery will come in handy when you travel or during a power fail-
ure. It is advisable to have an extra fully charged battery pack available
as backup. Contact your dealer for details on ordering a spare battery
pack.
Maximizing the battery's life
Like all other batteries, your computer's battery will degrade over
time. This means that the battery's performance will diminish with
time and use. To maximize your battery's life, you are advised to
adhere to the recommendations set out below.
Conditioning a new battery pack
Before you use a battery pack for the first time, there is a "condition-
ing" process that you should follow:
1 Insert the new battery without turning the computer on.
2 Connect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery.
3 Disconnect the AC adapter.
4 Turn on the computer and operate using battery power.
5 Fully deplete the battery until the battery-low warning appears.
6 Reconnect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery again.
Operating on battery power
34
English
Follow these steps again until the battery has been charged and dis-
charged three times.
Use this conditioning process for all new batteries, or if a battery hasn't
been used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more
than two weeks, you are advised to remove the battery pack from the
unit.
Warning: Do not expose battery packs to temperatures
below 0°C (32°F) or above 60°C (140°F). Extreme
temperatures may adversely affect the battery pack.
By following the battery conditioning process you condition your bat-
tery to accept the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this pro-
cedure will prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery charge,
and will also shorten the effective lifespan of the battery.
In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by
the following usage patterns:
• Using the computer on constant AC power with the battery
inserted. If you want to use constant AC power, you are advised to
remove the battery pack after it is fully charged.
• Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as
described above.
• Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach
the end of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a life
span of about 500 charges.
Installing and removing the battery pack
Important! Before removing the battery from the unit, connect
the AC adapter if you want to continue using your computer.
Otherwise, turn off the computer first.
To install a battery pack:
1 Align the battery with the open battery bay; make sure that the
end with the contacts will enter first, and that the top surface of
the battery is facing up.
2 Slide the battery into the battery bay and gently push until the
battery locks in place.
35
English
English
To remove a battery pack:
1 Slide the battery release latch to release the battery.
2 Pull the battery from the battery bay.
Charging the battery
To charge the battery, first make sure that it is correctly installed in the
battery bay. Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a
power outlet. You can continue to operate your computer on AC
power while your battery is charging. However, charging the battery
with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge
time.
Note: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for the
day. Allowing the battery to charge overnight before traveling
enables you to start the next day with a fully charged battery.
Checking the battery level
The Windows Power Meter indicates the current battery level. Rest the
cursor over the battery/power icon on the taskbar to see the battery's
present charge level.
Optimizing battery life
Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery opera-
tion, prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving recharging
efficiency. You are advised to follow the suggestions set out below:
• Purchase an extra battery pack.
• Use AC power whenever possible, reserving your battery for on-
the-go use.
• Eject PC card, when not in use.
• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. The recommended
temperature is 10°C to 30°C. Higher temperatures cause the
battery to self-discharge faster.
• Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.
Operating on battery power
36
English
Battery-low warning
When using battery power pay attention to the Windows Power
Meter.
Warning: Connect the AC adapter as soon as possible after
the battery-low warning appears. Data will be lost if the
battery is fully depleted causing the computer to shut
down.
When the battery-low warning appears, the recommended course of
action depends on your situation:
Situation Recommended Action
The AC adapter
and a power
outlet are
available.
1. Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and then
connect to an external power supply.
2. Save all necessary files.
3. Resume work.

battery rapidly.
An extra fully
charged battery
pack is available.
1. Save all necessary files.
2. Close all applications.
3. Shut down the operating system to turn off the
computer.
4. Replace the battery pack.
5. Turn on the computer and resume work.

Power management
Your computer features built-in power management that constantly
monitors system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving
one or more of the following devices: keyboard, touchpad/mouse,
hard disk drive, optical drive, peripherals connected to the computer,
and video memory. If no activity is detected for a period of time (the
settings are controlled in Windows Power Management), the computer
turns off some, or all, of these devices in order to conserve power.
Your computer employs a power management scheme that supports
ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), enabling maxi-
mum power conservation without compromising system performance.
ACPI allows Windows to control the amount of power given to each
device attached to the computer. In this way, Windows handles all
power-saving chores for your computer. Refer to Windows Help for
more information.

numeric keypad without interfering with your use of the computer's
keyboard for typing text.

USB devices
Your computer features three USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 ports for
connecting a range of USB peripherals. See “External input devices” on
page 41 and “Printer” on page 44 for information on connecting a USB

connect the device at any time.
An added advantage of USB is the ability to use USB hubs. This means
that several devices can share a USB port simultaneously.
