3.Battery and Power Management

Installing the Battery for the First Time

Your system operates on a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack. To prevent possible damage during shipment the battery pack has not been installed in your system. Before turning on the system for the first time, remove the battery pack from its package and install it. Once the battery is installed, allow it to fully charge before using your system without the AC adapter.

When the battery is fully charged, the CHARGE indicator light (See Chapter 2, The Big Picture: Indicator Lights) will glow green. If the battery is not fully charged, the light will be orange.
