Connecting a Power Source
To remove the battery pack
You can insert or remove the battery pack without turning off the
computer when your computer is connected to the AC adapter. Before
inserting or removing a battery pack, close the cover.
1
Turn off the computer and close the cover.
2
Slide the lock lever to the
UNLOCK
position.
3
Slide the release lever to the
UNLOCK
position and slide the battery away
from the computer.
The battery pack supplied with your computer is a lithium ion battery and can be recharged at
any time. Charging a partially discharged battery does not affect battery life.
The battery indicator light is on while you use the battery pack as a power source. When
battery life is nearly depleted, the battery indicator starts flashing.
For some software applications and some peripheral devices, your computer may not enter
System Hibernation mode when the battery life is low. To avoid loss of data when using
battery power, you should save your data frequently and manually activate a power
management mode, such as System Suspend or System Hibernation.
✍
You may lose data if you remove the battery pack while the computer is on and not connected
to the AC adapter or if you remove the battery while the computer is in System Suspend
mode.
