CAUTION!
Do not remove the battery while the Notebook is switched on
or data may be lost.
Take care when storing the battery and when using the Note-
book that the contacts on the battery and the Notebook are
not soiled or damaged. This could cause malfunctions.
6.3.3. Charging the Battery
The battery is charged using the mains adapter. When the mains adapter is con-
nected and switched on, the battery charges automatically regardless of whether or
not the Notebook is switched on or not. A complete charge takes a few hours with
the Notebook switched off. With the Notebook switched on, the charging process
takes significantly longer.
PLEASE NOTE!
The charging process is interrupted if the battery voltage or tempera-
ture gets too high.
6.3.4. Discharging the Battery
Operate the Notebook on battery power until it turns itself off due to low battery
charge.
PLEASE NOTE!
Be sure to save your open files promptly to prevent any data loss.
