Charging the battery pack
To charge the battery pack, proceed as follows:
1
Connect the AC adapter to the computer.
2
Insert the battery pack.
The computer automatically charges the battery (1) (the battery indicator (2) light flashes in a double
blink pattern as the battery charges). When the battery is 85% full, the battery indicator light turns off.
This process takes a few hours when the system is off/on. To charge the battery completely, continue
charging for an additional hour.
There are two battery indicator lights on the computer:
1
indicates the status of the battery pack in the battery bay on the right side of the computer.
2
indicates the status of the battery pack in the multi-purpose bay on the left side of the computer.
