Setting Up the Computer
Before you set up the computer for the first time, ensure that
■
The computer is using AC power.
■
The computer is not docked in a docking station.
!
WARNING:
It is in your best interest to set up a comfortable and
healthful workstation. Misuse of your personal computer or failure to
establish a safe and comfortable workstation could result in
discomfort or serious injury. Consult your
Safety &Comfort Guide
for

Charging the Battery Pack for the First Time
The battery pack begins to charge when the computer is connected
to external power.
Although a new battery pack can be used to power the computer
after receiving a partial charge, Compaq recommends that a new
battery pack be allowed to fully charge before the computer is
disconnected from external power or before the battery pack is
removed from the computer.
A new battery pack fully charges in approximately:
■
2 hours when the computer is connected to external power and
is not being used.
■
5 hours when the computer is connected to external power and
is being used.
