Managing Power 3-4
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.
