NOTE

The actual remaining battery capacity and the displayed indication may differ.

•The battery indicator light remains red.

•The battery remaining displays 99% and the indicator light is orange for a long period of time.

Charge the battery un- til the indicator is green, then completely dis- charge the battery.

Low battery warning appears after a short pe- riod of time.

This may be caused by the use of suspend mode for long periods of time. The battery is discharging while the computer is in suspend mode when the AC adapter is not connected.

Completely discharge the battery (reaches 0%).

When the battery pack is not in the computer, is displayed.
