Compaq 307502-001 manual Identifying the AC adapter light and the battery light

Setting Up the Notebook

When the notebook receives AC power:

The AC adapter light 1 turns on.

An inserted battery pack begins to charge. The battery light 2 turns on when the battery pack begins to charge and turns off when the battery pack is fully charged.

Compaq recommends that you leave the notebook connected to external power until the battery pack is fully charged and the battery light turns off. (A partially charged new battery pack can run the notebook after initial software setup is complete, but battery charge displays will not be accurate until the new battery pack has been fully charged.)
