Extending battery life
To maximize the life of your battery packs:
1. Turn off the computer's power.
2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power - if it
does not turn on then go to Step 4.
3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If you find
that the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time,
continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharged, however, if
the Battery indicator flashes or there is some other warning to indicate
a low battery condition, go to Step 4.
4. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and
to a wall outlet that is supplying power. The DC IN indicator should
glow red, and the Battery indicator should glow amber to indicate that
the battery pack is being charged, however, in the event that DC IN
indicator does not glow this indicates that power is not being supplied -
check the connections for the AC adaptor and the power cord.
5. Charge the battery pack until the Battery indicator glows red.
Replacing the battery pack
Please be aware that the battery pack is classified as a consumable item.
