while operating under any situation, resulting in the loss of any unsaved information.
When to Replace the Battery
Over time, the battery’s capacity gradually decreases. We recommend that you replace your battery if it
no longer provides 70% of its original rated capacity.
WARNING There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
Heat Considerations
The computer’s processor has been specially designed to consume as little power as possible. However,
working in a hot environment, or working for long periods may raise the temperature. Your computer
takes the following steps to lower temperature:
1. The cooling fan turns on. You may hear the fan and feel air coming from a vent on the left side of
the computer when this happens.
2. If the temperature continues to rise, Processor activity is reduced. You may notice a slight loss of
performance when this happens.
3. To prevent damage, if the computer gets too hot, the processor stops and the computer shuts
down.
Battery Calibration
Over time, as the battery is repeatedly drained and recharged, battery runtime may decrease.
Occasionally, the battery should be recalibrated for maximum performance. The calibration process
empties and charges the battery. This allows the Windows battery gauge to accurately monitor battery
status. Battery Calibration will take from 10 to 16 hours, depending on how much power the battery
already contains.
It is recommended you calibrate your battery:
z
the first time you use it
z
after it has been in storage
