Insert the battery into the battery compartment, ensuring the correct
orientation so that the battery fits in its slot properly.

Slide the battery pack into the compartment. Make sure the battery is fully inserted
into the compartment. Carefully fold up the wire removal device.

Monitoring the Battery Charge
Battery life is affected by factors such as the power-management settings in System
Setup, the applications you use, and the brightness settings of the LCD. Under normal
usage, the battery charge lasts approximately 3 hours.
Battery life estimates are subject to variation. The actual life of your battery
may be less than the estimates given in the manual.
You can monitor the charge of the battery pack installed in your computer by using the
Power Meter or Battery Gauge.
