Battery Charger Setup Guide 17
CAUTION: If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when you
plug the AC adapter power cable into the power strip. Some power strips may
allow you to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the power plug
could result in permanent damage to your computer, as well as risk of electric
shock and/or fire. Ensure that you insert the ground prong of the power plug into
the mating ground contact of the power strip.
Battery operating time varies depending on operating conditions. You can use the battery
charger to charge a 28-WHr battery or an optional 65-WHr extended battery.
While the battery is charging, the battery charger light is green. When the battery is 82%
charged, the battery charger light blinks green. When the battery is fully charged, the
battery charger light is off. If errors occur while charging, the battery charger light blinks
amber.
