Do not interrupt the battery recalibration
process. If recalibration is interrupted,
you must start the process over again.
If your notebook unexpectedly goes into Standby mode while you are using it

should also recalibrate the battery periodically to maintain the accuracy of the
battery gauge.

As soon as it starts and you see a startup screen, press F2 . The BIOS Setup
utility opens.

spacebar.

NTER
.
6
Select Yes , then press E

The battery recalibration process begins and a screen opens showing you
the progress. The entire process will take several hours.

appears.
