Hints and Tips 4
Notes:
1. The DEVICE=HIMEM SYS can be left in the CONFIG.SYS but will not be active.
If you leave it there, be sure to add /M:2 as described earlier.
2. SMARTDRV.SYS causes a Divide Overflow when running with QEMM.SYS.
Restart the system (Ctrl+Alt+Del) to activate the Quarterdeck QEMM 5.11.
Battery Considerations
Parallel or Serial Port Power
Your system has two rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries:
1. A user-replaceable battery pack. (Its life can be extended by editing the
CONFIG.SYS file and deleting the statement: DEVICE=ANSI.SYS)
2. A small internal backup battery (dealer replaceable) that permits you to swap the
user-replaceable battery pack when the machine is in suspend mode.
It your computer has been idle for a month or more, ensure correct operation by
recharging the batteries before using battery operation. The Quick Reference Guide
explains how to charge or recharge the batteries. The working time of your new
battery improves after it has been fully charged and discharged several times. This is
a characteristic of nickel-cadmium batteries.
Note: Some software programs only permit a partial suspend. A battery swap cannot
be performed with these programs. An example of a partial suspend is Quarterdeck
QEMM when it is actively managing extended memory. When the laptop enters partial
suspend. two beeps can be heard. If Windows 3.0 is using QEMM as its memory
manager and you have followed the instructions concerning PM_BIOS.386 outlined in
the Windows section of this document. the laptop does a full suspend (one beep) and
battery swapping is permitted
To turn off the power to the serial and parallel ports, execute the PS2.EXE program on
the Reference Diskette. By typing PS2, you can check the power status of these ports.
