Chapter 3 - Battery and Power Management
Turning On Your System
After installing the battery pack, allow it to charge fully before
using your system for the first time. Once the battery is fully
charged, go ahead and open your system and push the power
button. Hold the button down for one second to turn on the
system.
Note: Be sure to wait at least one to two seconds between each time you press the
power button. Otherwise, the button may not respond.
Battery Endurance
How long you can run on a single charge varies greatly with
how you use and configure your system. Your Meridian can run
a lot longer if you do one or more of the following:
• Use the AC adapter whenever possible
• Operate the system at “Slow” clock speed
• Operate in cooler temperatures
• Set the LCD brightness to “Half” level in the SETUP program
• Store the battery in low humidity
See Chapter 5, Using SETUP, to learn how to set the power
management features.
