Refer to Chapter 5, "Connecting External Desktop Equipment," for
information about docking the computer.
Four yellow battery lights on the right front of the expansion base
indicate when battery packs are charging. When a battery pack
completes fast charging, the battery light turns off. The sequential
order of charging is as follows:
Computer battery compartment
Computer MultiBay
Expansion Base MultiBay I
Expansion Base MultiBay II
Yellow Battery Lights on the Expansion Base
Charging Battery Packs Outside
Normal Operating Conditions
Under normal operating conditions, the battery light turns on and
charging begins when the computer is connected to an external
power source. However, charging may not occur immediately if
one of the following conditions exists:
The battery pack temperature is outside the normal operating range
of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).
The battery pack is below normal discharge levels, which can occur
with new battery packs or after approximately 30 days of nonuse.
