Power Condition Descriptions
The computer operating capability and battery charge status are affected
by different power conditions, including whether an AC adaptor is
connected and what the battery charge level is.

Check the

pack and the power status with the AC adaptor connected. The following

be connected to recharge the battery.

properly, you should contact your reseller or

the battery pack falls to a normal range, charging will resume. This process
occurs regardless of whether the computer's power is on or off.
