WARNING! Do not charge the computer battery while you are onboard aircraft.

If you are charging a new battery pack:

Charge the battery pack while the computer is plugged into external power through the AC adapter.

When you charge the battery pack, charge it fully before turning on the computer.

If you are charging an in-use battery pack:

Allow the battery pack to discharge to about 10 percent of a full charge through normal use before charging it.
