  Hi.

  It should all be pretty straight forward, plus there is help for each item so 
you will always know what your about to do.  The battery calibration is in the 
power management options I think but I can't remember off hand.

    thanks Ibraham.  What happens after I press the F2? or is it all 
self-explanatory once it is being done?

      Hi.

      Battery life depends significantly upon what your doing.  You may find 
that turning down the brightness, turning off the backlight and using your 
computer for light tasks such as word processing, email and internet browsing 
rather than for multimedia applications will extend the battery life 
significantly.  Also, if you use the internet and are using a hard wired 
connection, turning off the wireless facility will help as well.  If you still 
feel the battery life isn't satisfactory, you might like to consider doing a 
battery calibration test.  This test will determine how well your battery is 
performing and how accurate it is reporting remaining capacity and charge.  You 
can do battery calibration through the system setup screen you reach through 
tapping F2 before windows boots.  You will probably need sighted assistance if 
you can't see the screen without magnification.

        I have read for the past couple of weeks how everyone gets so much time 
out of the battery on the NC10.  I am using mine on battery this evening for 
the first time and trying to see how much I can use it before having to 
recharge.  I would say I will have no more than 3 and a half hours.  Now what 
has everyone done to make the battery life longer?
