Charging the main battery
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
If the main battery is present, the battery light glows:
❖Amber while the battery is charging
❖Green when the battery is fully charged
Flashing amber means the main battery charge is low and
it is time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC
Adapter.
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, the main
battery is either malfunctioning, or it is not receiving input
from the AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC power cord/cable and remove the main
battery pack. See “Changing batteries” on page 111 for
information on replacing the battery.
Charging the main battery
Your computer came with its battery already installed. Before
using the battery to power the computer, you must charge the
battery.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into an AC
power source for several hours with the computer turned off.
After that, the battery will be completely charged and ready
to power the computer.
Once the battery is charged for the first time, avoid leaving the
computer plugged in and turned off for more than a few hours
at a time. Continuing to charge a fully charged battery can
damage the battery.
