U SING A BLUETOOTH C ONNECTION
Bluetooth is a technology enabling you to transfer data wirelessly over
short distances between many different types of devices. Bluetooth-
enabled devices include computers, cell phones, tablets, wireless
headsets, and keyboards.
To use Bluetooth, you must ensure the following:
1. Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
2. Your devices are "paired" (or connected).
Enabling and disabling Bluetooth
The Bluetooth adapter must be enabled on both devices. For your
computer, this may be an external switch, a software setting, or a
separate Bluetooth dongle plugged into the computer’s USB port (if no
internal Bluetooth adapter is available).
Enable Bluetooth and add a device
Every new device must first be "paired" with your computer’s
Bluetooth adapter. This means it must first be authenticated for
security purposes. You only need to pair once. After that, simply
turning on the Bluetooth adapter of both devices will connect them.
Bluetooth on your computer is disabled by default. To enable your
computer’s Bluetooth adapter, do the following:
1. Press the Windows key or select the Windows Start button >
Settings > > Devices Bluetooth & other devices, and click the
toggle under Bluetooth to enable/disable it.
2. Click on Add Bluetooth or other device then select the device that
you want to add.

Notifications icon in the lower right-hand corner of the screen to open
the pane. From here, you can enable or disableNotifications
Bluetooth or right-click on Bluetooth > Go to Settings to enter the
Bluetooth settings.

devices to enter a PIN. In the case of one of the devices not having any inputs
(as in a headset), the passcode is hardcoded into the device (usually "0000"
or "1234"). Consult your device’s user manual for more information.

when you are done making changes.
48 - Power management
P OWER MA NAGEMENT
This computer has a built-in power management unit that monitors
system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or
more of the following devices: keyboard, mouse, hard disk,
peripherals connected to the computer, and video memory. If no
activity is detected for a period of time, the computer stops some or all
of these devices in order to conserve energy.
Saving power
Disable Fast startup
Your computer uses Fast startup to start quickly, but also uses a small
amount of power to check for signals to start. These checks will slowly
drain your computer’s battery.
If you prefer to reduce your computer’s power requirements and
environmental impact, turn off Fast startup:
1. Press the Windows key or select the Windows Start button then
select Settings > > System Power & sleep.
2. Select Additional power settings.
3. Select Choose what the power buttons do.
Note
If Fast startup is off, your computer will take longer to start from Sleep.
Your computer will also not start if it receives an instruction to start over a
network (Wake on LAN).
Power management - 49
4. Select Change settings that are currently unavailable.
5. Scroll down and disable Turn on fast startup.
6. Select Save changes.
Battery pack - 51
Use this conditioning process for all new batteries, or if a battery
hasn't been used for a long time.
The battery conditioning process ensures your battery accepts the
maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this procedure 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.
• 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. An embedded battery has a life span of
more than 1,000 charge/discharge cycles.
Optimizing battery life
Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery operation,
prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving recharging
efficiency. You are advised to follow the suggestions set out below:
• Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for mobile use.
• Remove accessories that are not being used (e.g. a USB disk
drive), as they can continue to draw power.
• Store your PC in a cool, dry place. The recommended temperature
is 10° C (50° F) to 30° C (86° F). Higher temperatures cause the
battery to self-discharge faster.
• Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.
• Look after your AC adapter and battery.
Warning
Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0° C (32° F) or
above 45° C (113° F). Extreme temperatures may adversely affect the
battery pack.
52 - Battery pack
Checking the battery level
The 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.
Battery-low warning
When using battery power pay attention to the power meter.
When the battery-low warning appears, the recommended course of
action depends on your situation:
Important
Connect the AC adapter as soon as possible after the battery-low
warning appears. Data may be lost if the battery is allowed to become
fully depleted and the computer shuts down.
