Use Battery Calibration

When the battery is in continuous use without being completely charged or dis- charged, there may be a difference between the displayed battery charge and the actual battery charge, owing to the inherent characteristics of the battery.

Completely discharging the battery and fully charging it can correct this problem.

Completely discharging the battery for this reason is called battery calibration.

The procedure to calibrate the battery is described below.

1.Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC power.

2.Turn on the computer and press <F2> to enter into System Setup.

3.Select Smart Battery Calibration in the Boot Menu, and press <Enter> to start. The calibration process usually takes 3 to 5 hours depending on the remaining battery charge.
