Charging the Battery Pack
Before you use your Notebook PC you will have to charge the battery pack. The battery pack begins to
charge as soon as the Notebook PC is connected to external power using the power adapter. Fully charge
the battery pack before using it for the first time. A new battery pack must completely charge before the
Notebook PC is disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when the
Notebook PC is turned OFF and may take twice the time when the Notebook PC is turned on. The battery
charge light turns OFF when the battery pack is charged.
Note:
The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage is too high.
