Caution

Note

Using the battery

Battery is an expendable supply, so when you use it for a long time, the capaci- ty/battery life is shortened. If the battery life time is reduced to under half of the initial time, we recommend that you purchase a new battery to use.

Battery Warning

You will hear an alarm when the remaining battery charge is under 10%. Connect the power cable or turn off the computer and install a fully charged bat- tery.

When the remaining battery charge is under 3%, the computer automatically saves current work and turns off. This may be different according to the settings in Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > Power Options > Alarms tab.

If the remaining battery level is less than 5% when you turned on the system,

the system will not be started properly so as to prevent any loss of data. Connect the AC adapter, and then turn the system on.
