Charging the battery pack

 

User

To charge the battery pack, proceed as follows:

 

Notebook

1 Connect the AC adapter to the computer.

 

 

 

 

2 Insert the battery pack.

 

 

The computer automatically charges the battery (1) (the battery indicator (2) light flashes in a double

Sony

blink pattern as the battery charges). When the battery is 85% full, the battery indicator light turns off.

This process takes approximately one hour for the PCG-FX203/PCG-FX203K when the system is off. If the

system is on, it takes one and a half hour. To charge the battery completely, continue charging for an

 

additional hour.

 

 

There are two battery indicator lights on the computer:

 

 

1

indicates the status of the battery pack in the battery bay on the left side of the computer.

 

2

indicates the status of the battery pack in the multi-purpose bay on the right side of the computer.
