2.Turn your notebook right-side up and connect the AC power adapter to the notebook and a wall outlet.

A yellow status light on the front-center of your notebook will light up, indicating that the battery is being charged. For more information about status lights, see chapter 3, “using your notebook.”

Use only the AC adapter and power cord that were shipped with your notebook. Using a different AC adapter or power cord may result in fire or damage to your notebook.

Important: When using your notebook for the first time, leave the AC adapter connected to your notebook until the yellow battery status light on the front-center of the notebook goes off. When the battery status light goes off, your battery is fully charged. This may take 2 to 3 hours.
