Battery Life

Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance.

To optimize the life

and improve its performance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least
once every 30 days

.

We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. If you do need to re-
move the battery for any reason (e.g. long term storage) see

“Removing the Battery

- Model A” on page 3 - 25

“Removing the Battery - Model B” on page 3 - 27

New Battery

Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (see

“Battery FAQ”

on page 3 - 21

for instructions on how to do this).

Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter

The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached and
plugged into an electrical outlet. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it will
take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the computer is turned off but
plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. Refer to

“LED Indica-

tors” on page 1 - 9

for information on the battery charge status, and to

FAQ” on page 3 - 21

for more information on how to maintain and properly re-

charge the battery pack.
