Battery
The battery allows you to use your notebook computer while you are on the
road or an electrical outlet is unavailable. Battery life varies depending on the
applications and the configuration you're using. To increase battery life,
let
the battery discharge completely before recharging (see “How do I com-
pletely discharge the battery?” on page 3 - 25 ).
We recommend that you do not remove the battery. For more information on
the battery, please refer to
“Battery Information” on page 3 - 24 .
Recharging the Battery with the AC Adapter
The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC 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. (Re-
fer to
“LED Power Indicators” on page 2 - 6 for information on the battery
charge status, and to “Battery Information” on page 3 - 24 for more informa-
tion on how to maintain the battery pack.)
Proper handling of the Battery Pack
• DO NOT disassemble the battery pack under any circumstances
• DO NOT expose the battery to fire or high temperatures, it may explode
• DO NOT connect the metal terminals (+, -) to each other
Battery Removal
We recommend that
you do not remove the
battery yourself.
Please consult your
service representative
should you need to re-
move the battery for
any reason.
Low Battery Warning
When the battery is
critically low, immedi-
ately connect the AC
adapter to the comput-
er or save your work,
otherwise, the un-
saved data will be lost
when the power is de-
pleted.
