HP 80XL458 manual Fixing a Low-Battery Condition, Connect the AC Adapter

Page 91

If you will not be using your Notebook for an extended period of time, Compaq recommends that you unplug the electrical

cord from the outlet and remove the battery while your Notebook is not in use.

The battery will charge whether your Notebook is on or off, and will continue to charge until the battery is fully charged or AC power is disconnected.

Fixing a Low-Battery Condition

A low-battery condition exists when the battery has less than

10 percent of its power remaining. This section of “Caring for Your Battery” will show you how to correct a low-battery condition and what to do if your Notebook loses all battery power.

When your Notebook loses all battery power, it begins Hibernation, a process that cannot be interrupted. If Hibernation has begun, you must allow your Notebook to finish saving your information and shut off automatically before trying to correct the low-battery condition.

The availability of an AC wall outlet will determine which solution you should use to correct a low-battery condition. Use one of the following options:

Connect the AC Adapter

This solution allows you to continue working without being interrupted and simultaneously charges the drained battery. You don’t have to turn off your Notebook before connecting the AC adapter. Your Notebook automatically switches to AC power once you connect the AC adapter.
