Using the battery pack

You can use one or two batteries as a source of power. You can insert the second battery pack into the
multipurpose bay on the left side of the computer. Additional battery packs are available as a separate
option. The battery pack supplied with your computer is not fully charged at the time of purchase.

Inserting the battery pack

To insert the battery pack, proceed as follows:

1

Open the cover of the battery bay.

2

Insert the battery pack with the label facing up into the battery bay on the right side of the computer.

3

Close the cover of the battery bay until it clicks.

✍

When the computer is directly connected to AC power and has a battery pack inserted in the battery bay, it uses power from the AC outlet.
