Caring for Your Battery
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
when you connect the AC adapter.
SDid you know... When the AC adapter is connected, 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.
Replace the Drained Battery with a Charged One
If you cannot connect the AC adapter
but you have a charged battery, you
can change to battery power and
continue working. To replace the
drained battery with a charged one,
complete the following steps:
1. Save your work.
2. Turn off your Notebook (or
initiate Hibernation).
3. Replace the drained battery with
the charged one.
4. Press the Power ªbutton to turn on your Notebook.
5. Resume your work.
When AC power becomes available, plug in the AC adapter and
replace your Notebook’s battery with the drained battery to
recharge it.
