Setting Up the Notebook
Getting Started 1–5
When the notebook receives AC power:
■
The AC adapter light
1
turns on.
■
An inserted battery pack begins to charge. The battery light
2
turns on when the battery pack begins to charge and turns off
when the battery pack is fully charged.
Compaq recommends that you leave the notebook connected
to external power until the battery pack is fully charged and
the battery light turns off. (A partially charged new battery
pack can run the notebook after initial software setup is
complete, but battery charge displays will not be accurate
until the new battery pack has been fully charged.)
