Using the Battery
Note
Although the battery was fully charged at the factory, transit and shelf time may
have had reduced the initial battery charge. We recommend that when you use your
notebook for the first time, to connect it to the AC power using the AC adaptor. This
will also recharge your battery.
When the battery capacity is low, always respond by immediately saving your data, and
connecting your notebook to the AC adaptor. If an AC adaptor is not available, change the
battery using the battery replacement procedure.
