RUNNING THE NOTEBOOK
ON ITS BATTERY
Recharging the battery
1. Connect the AC adapter to your notebook.
The moment you connect an AC adapter to
your notebook, the notebook begins to
charge the internal standard battery pack.
The charging status (
) on the Status
Indicator LCD turns on.
2. When the indicator turns off after the
battery is completely charged, disconnect
the AC adapter from the notebook.
When the battery is 90% or more
charged, it cannot be recharged even if
the AC adapter is connected. The
battery can be recharged when its power
level (i.e. remaining battery life) is 89%
or less.
When a notebook is turned off, all
indicators on the status LCD goes off
immediately if the battery is completely
charged.
The chargeability of the battery
degrades when it is used in an extremely
hot or cold place.
When the battery is very hot, for
example, immediately after long usage
of the notebook, the battery protection
feature may be activated to prevent the
battery from being recharged. When the
temperature decreases, the notebook
automatically begins to charge the
battery.
When an optional modular bay battery
is installed, it is charged along with the
internal standard battery.
Before using the supplied battery pack
for the very first time after purchase,
remember to charge it fully. If a charged
battery has not been recharged for more
than a month, charge it fully before using
it.
When the battery is fully charged, the
charging status indicator turns off and
the indicator stops blinking ( )
and lights up ( ).
