Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5 °C and
max. 40 °C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter (see "Connecting the
power adapter").
You can maintain long life from your battery by allowing it to discharge fully before you recharge it
again. To do this, leave your notebook turned on when it is operated with the battery. Once the
battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within
five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.
Information on the battery charging time is contained in the "Technical data" chapter.
Monitoring the battery charging level
Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When
you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.
Removing and installing the battery
!
Only use batteries approved by Fujitsu Siemens Computers for your notebook.
Never use force when inserting or removing a battery.
Make sure that no foreign bodies get into the battery connections.
