Step 4: Connect the Notebook to External Power

To connect the notebook to external AC power:

1.Plug the AC adapter cable 1 into the power connector. (The power connector is on the rear of the notebook.)

It is recommended that you leave the notebook connected to external power until the battery pack is fully charged and the battery light is turned off. (A partially charged new battery pack can run the notebook after software setup is complete, but battery charge displays will not be accurate until the new battery pack has been fully charged.)
