Power Saving Modes
This section contains information on the Notebook’s power system, including the AC
Adapter, the battery system, recharging the battery, and tips for conserving battery
power.
The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter and the battery system.
The AC Adapter converts AC power from a wall outlet to the DC power required by
the computer.
The Battery Power System
A fully charged pack will provide approximately 2 hours of battery life depending on
your system configuration application it runs.
Before using the computer on battery power for the first time, check the battery status
icon on the Windows Toolbar to make sure the battery is fully charged.
See Battery Status later in this section for a description and explanation of the
Windows Battery icon. Charging the battery takes about 3 hours to charge when the
system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery completely.
Removing the Battery Pack
To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Chapter 3, Inserting
and Removing the Battery Pack .
Preparing the Battery Pack for Use
Before using the battery pack for the first time, the Smart Battery IC within the battery
pack should be calibrated in order to get accurate reporting of remaining battery life
status.
