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 ª button to turn on your Notebook.

When AC power becomes available, plug in the AC adapter and replace your Notebook’s battery with the drained battery to recharge it.
