Care and use of the battery pack
This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle
your battery pack properly.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
detailed precautions and handling instructions.
Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature from 5 through 35
degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak, battery
pack performance might deteriorate, and the battery life might be
shortened.
Charging the battery
When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery
indicator flashes amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power
remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC IN/Battery
indicator flashes, the computer enters Hibernation Mode so that you do not
lose any data, and automatically turns itself off.
You must recharge the battery pack when it becomes discharged.
Procedures
To recharge a battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack
and plug the other end into a working outlet. The DC IN/Battery indicator
glows amber while the battery is being charged.
Charging Time
The following table shows the approximate time required to charge an
exhausted battery fully.
Battery type Power off Power on
Battery pack
(53 Wh, 4 cell)
about 3 hours about 3 ~ 10 hours
Be aware that the charging time when the computer is on is affected
by ambient temperature, the temperature of the computer and how
you are using the computer. If you make heavy use of external
devices for example, the battery might scarcely charge at all during
operation.
Note that charging time will vary depending on the ambient
temperature, the computer's internal temperature, and how the
computer is being used. For example, whether the display is set to
shut off automatically when idle, whether you make heavy use of
external devices powered by the computer, or if the computer's
internal storage drive is being accessed frequently by an application.
