Charging the Battery Pack
Before you use your Notebook PC on the road, 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 status indicator on the Notebook PC 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.
WARNING! Do not leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will discharge over time. If not
using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every three months to extend recovery capacity or
else it may fail to charge in the future.
Power Options
The power switch turns ON and OFF the Notebook PC or putting the Notebook PC into sleep or hibernation modes. Actual
behavior of the power switch can be customized in Windows Control Panel “Power Options.”
For other options, such as “Switch User, Restart, Sleep, or Shut Down,” click the arrowhead next to the lock icon.
Restarting or Rebooting
After making changes to your operating system, you may
be prompted to restart the system. Some installation
processes will provide a dialog box to allow restart. To
restart the system manually, choose Restart.
