Battery Pack
Chapter 2 Operating on Battery Power 33
3. Disconnect the adapter to use up the battery before
recharging again.
You only need to do this once with a new battery or with a
battery that's been stored without being used for a long
time. If the computer is to be stored for more than two
weeks, we suggest you remove the battery pack. Battery
power from a fully chaged battery pack depletes in roughly
a day with the computer in Standby mode, a month in
Hibernation mode or when power is off.
Installing and Removing the Battery Pack
Follow these steps to install the battery pack:
1. Press the battery bay cover release button and slide out
the cover as shown in the figures below.
Warning! Do not expose battery packs to
temperatures below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC (140ºF).
This may adversely affect the battery pack.
Important!
Before removing the battery pack, make sure that
you have an AC adapter connected to the computer; otherwise
turn off the computer.
