Managing Power 3-4
CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not immediately
disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may damage
the battery.
NOTE: The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge process
(0.21 % per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100 %). This happens
no matter if the battery pack is installed in the computer.
Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or
when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected.
Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It
can take several hours.
1. Make sure that the computer power is turned off. Connect the AC
adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
2. After the battery pack is fully charged, turn on the computer. Press the
Enter key or click the left touchpad button when the prompt appears on
the screen during system startup. The prompt shows up on the screen for
only a few seconds. You must press the Enter key or click the left
touchpad button quickly.
3. A small window appears, select Launch System Setup to invoke the
program.
4. Disconnect the AC adapter and leave the computer on until the battery
is fully discharged. The computer will shut down automatically.
5. Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
