Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for detailed precautions and handling instructions.
indicator flashes, the computer will enable Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data, and automatically turn itself off. You must recharge a 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 will glow amber while the battery is being charged.
The DC IN/Battery indicator may show a rapid decrease in battery operating time when you try to charge a battery under the following conditions: The battery has not been used for a long time. The battery has completely discharged and been left in the computer for a long time. In such cases you should follow the steps as detailed below: 1. 2. 3. Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the computer with the power on until the system automatically turns itself off.
How much charge the battery contained to begin with. How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the battery supplies power. Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if you are frequently turning the computer off and on. Where you store your programs and data.
