Power and PowerUp Modes

Note

1.Never remove the battery pack while the Wakeup on LAN function is enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable the Wakeup on LAN function.

2.To ensure the battery pack maintains maximum capacity, operate the computer on battery power once a week until the battery pack is fully discharged. Refer to the section Extending battery life in this chapter for procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power for an extended period, more than a week, the battery might fail to retain a charge. It might not function efficiently over the expected life of the battery pack and the Battery indicator might not indicate a lowbattery condition.

3.After the battery pack is charged, avoid leaving the AC adaptor connected and the computer turned off for more than a few hours at a time. Continuing to charge a fullycharged battery pack can damage the battery.

Charging the batteries

When the power in the Battery Pack becomes low, the Battery indicator flashes orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the computer enables Resume mode (so you do not lose data) and automatically turns off.

The computer enters Hibernation mode only if Hibernation is enabled in two places: the Hibernate tab in Power Options and Setup Action tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.

You must recharge a Battery Pack when it becomes discharged.

Procedures

To recharge a Battery Pack while it is installed in the computer, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 15V socket and plug the other end into a working outlet.

The Battery indicator glows orange when the battery is being charged.

Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or the optional TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the Battery Pack. Do not attempt to charge the Battery Pack with any other charger.
