Getting Started

Charging the Battery

When you check the battery status and find that the percentage of power remaining is low or when the power alarm alerts you that remaining power is low, you need to charge your battery or replace it with a charged battery.

If an AC outlet is convenient, first, connect the AC adapter to the power jack of the computer; second, connect the power cord to the transformer pack; and then plug the power cord to the AC outlet.

The charging time is affected by the physical environment. The battery status indicator lets you know that the battery is charging, and also notifies you when the battery is fully charged.

Note: To increase the life of the battery, the computer does not start recharging the battery if the remaining power is greater than 95 percent.

Handling the Battery

Danger: Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery pack.

Attempting to do so can cause an explosion, or liquid leakage from the battery pack.

A battery pack other than the one specified by Lenovo, or a disassembled or modified battery pack is not covered by the warranty.

Danger: If the rechargeable battery pack is incorrectly replaced, there is danger of an explosion. The battery pack contains a small amount of harmful substances. To avoid possible injury:

•Replace only with a battery of the type recommended by Lenovo.

•Keep the battery pack away from fire.

•Do not expose it to water or rain.

•Do not attempt to disassemble it.

•Do not short-circuit it.

•Keep it away from children.

Danger: Do not put the battery pack in trash that is disposed of in landfills. When disposing of the battery, comply with local ordinances or regulations and your company’s safety standards.

Danger: There is a danger of an explosion if the backup battery is incorrectly stored. The lithium battery contains lithium and can explode if it is not properly handled, or disposed of. Replace only with a battery of the same type. To avoid possible injury or death, Do not: (1) throw or immerse into water, (2) allow it to heat to more than 100 degrees C (212 degrees F), or (3) attempt to repair or disassemble it. Dispose of it as required by local ordinances or regulations and your company’s safety standards.
