Recalibrating the battery
If your notebook unexpectedly goes into Standby mode while you are using it
but the battery charge is not low, you may need to recalibrate your battery.
You should also recalibrate the battery periodically to maintain the accuracy
of the battery gauge.
To recalibrate the battery:
1
Connect the AC adapter, then turn on your notebook.
2
As soon as it starts and you see a startup screen, press F2 . The BIOS Setup
utility opens.
3
Open the
Advanced
menu.
4
Highlight
Battery Auto Learning
, then select
Enabled
by pressing the
spacebar.
5
Open the
Exit
menu, then highlight
Exit Saving Changes
and press E
NTER
.
6
Select
Yes
, then press E
NTER
.
The battery recalibration process begins and a screen opens showing you
the progress. The entire process will take several hours.
When the recalibration has finished, the message “Press [Esc] key to exit”
appears.
7
Press E
SC
. The battery meter now displays an accurate battery charge. If
the battery meter does not show an accurate charge, contact Gateway
Technical Support.

again.
