Working with the notebook
Battery
The battery is one of the most important components of your notebook. When not plugged into a
mains outlet, the notebook runs on its built-in battery. You can increase the life of the battery by
caring for it properly. The average battery life is around 500 charge/discharge cycles.
You can extend the battery life by taking advantage of the available energy saving functions.
Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature is between 5°C and
max. 35°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter (see "Mains adapter:
connecting").
You can maintain long life from your battery by allowing it to discharge fully before you recharge it
again. To do this, leave your notebook turned on when it is operated with the battery. Once the
battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within
five minutes of the warning alarm described above, your notebook will automatically switch off.
Information on the battery charging time is contained in the "Technical data" chapter.
Battery charging level, monitoring
Windows also has a "Battery status meter" in the taskbar for monitoring the battery capacity. When
you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.
Battery: storing
Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which the batteries are
stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two months), the battery charge level
should be approx. 30%. To prevent deep discharge, check the charge level of the battery at regular
intervals.
To utilise the optimum charging capacity of the battery, it should be completely discharged and then
fully recharged.
i
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the notebook. Never
store the batteries in the device.
