Battery Pack

3.Disconnect the adapter to use up the battery before recharging again.

You only need to do this once with a new battery or with a battery that's been stored without being used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more than two weeks, we suggest you remove the battery pack. Battery power from a fully chaged battery pack depletes in roughly a day with the computer in Standby mode, a month in Hibernation mode or when power is off.

Warning! Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC (140ºF). This may adversely affect the battery pack.

Installing and Removing the Battery Pack

Important! Before removing the battery pack, make sure that you have an AC adapter connected to the computer; otherwise turn off the computer.

Follow these steps to install the battery pack:

1.Press the battery bay cover release button and slide out the cover as shown in the figures below.
