Getting Started

Charging the Battery Pack

The battery pack can be recharged while it is installed in the Notebook. Please pay attention to the following tips bef ore recharging the battery:

If a charged battery pack is not available, save your work and close all running programs and shut down the system or Save-to-Disk.

Plug in the external AC power adapter.

You can use the system, suspend system operation or shut down and turn off the system without interrupting the charging process.

The battery pack uses Lithium-ion battery cells that have no “memory effect.” You do not need to discharge the battery pack before you begin charging. However, to optimize the life of battery, we suggest that consuming the battery power completely once a month is necessary.

If you do not use the Notebook for a long time, it is suggested to remove the battery pack from your Notebook. This may be helpful to extend your batteries life.

The actual charging time will be determined by the applications in use.
