■Install any additional software.

■Calibrate the battery pack.

IMPORTANT: Although you can use a new battery pack that has been fully charged to run the computer, the computer cannot accurately report the amount of charge in the battery pack until the battery pack has been calibrated. For calibration information and instructions, refer to “Calibrating a Battery Pack” in Chapter 4 of the Reference Guide on the Compaq Portable Product Reference Library CD-ROM included with the computer.
