Operating on Battery Power
2-3
Note: When using a battery pack for the first time,
fully recharge the battery, then disconnect the
adapter to use up the battery before recharging
again. You only need to do this once with a new
battery or with a battery that’s been stored
without being used for a long time.
If the computer is to be stored for more than two
weeks, we suggest that you remove the battery
pack. Battery power (from a fully charged battery
pack) depletes in roughly ten hours with the
computer in standby mode. When power is off,
battery power depletes in one month.
!
Warning: Do not expose battery packs to
temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC
(140ºF). This may adversely affect the battery
pack.
2.1.2 Installing and Removing the
Battery Pack
Before removing the battery pack, make sure that
you have an AC adapter connected to the
computer; otherwise turn off the computer. The
following figures illustrate how to remove the
battery pack.
