The notebook battery can only be c harged, when the ambient temperature
is b etween 5°C and max. 35°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the power adapter
(see "
Connecting the power adapter", Page 9).
You can maintain long life from your battery by allowing it to discharge fully before you recharge
it again. To do this, leave your notebook turned on when it is operated with the battery. Once the
battery is running low you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within
five m inutes of the warning alarm described above, your n otebook will automatically switch off.

Keep the battery pack between 0 °C and +30 °C (32 and 122 degree s Fahrenheit). The lower
the temperature at which the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer th an two months), the battery
charge level should be approx. 30%. To prevent exhaustive discharge, check the
charging level of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batte ries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.
