Using the Battery Pack
Keep the battery pack in your computer while it is directly connected to AC power. The battery pack continu es to charge while you are using the
computer.
When the battery pack is running out of power and both the charge and power indi cator lights blink, you should either connect the AC adapter to
recharge the battery pack or shut down your computer and install a fully char ged battery pack.
Your computer is supplied with a lithium ion battery pack and can be re charged any time. Charging a partially discharged battery pack does not affect
the life of battery.
You can extend the life of your battery pack if you enable the battery care functio n of the Battery Charge Functions with the VAIO Control Center.
While some software applications or peripheral devices are in use, yo ur computer may not enter Hibernate mode even when the remaining battery life
becomes short. To avoid loss of data while the computer is running on the b attery, you should save your data frequently and manually activate a power
management mode, such as Sleep or Hibernate.
If the battery pack runs out of power while the computer is in Sleep mode, you will lose all unsaved data. Going back to the previous work state is
impossible. To avoid loss of data, you should save your data frequently.
