Recharging the battery
If your battery charge indicator displays what looks like an inaccurate
charge, you may need to recalibrate the battery. For more information,
see “Recalibrating the battery” on page 81.
Recharging the battery
The battery recharges while it is installed and your convertible tablet PC
is connected to AC power. While the battery recharges, the battery charge
indicator turns on and the power cord icon in the taskbar has a lightning
bolt .

If your convertible tablet PC unexpectedly goes into Standby mode while
you are using it but the battery charge is not low, you may need to
recalibrate your battery. You should also recalibrate the battery
periodically to maintain the accuracy of the battery gauge.
To recalibrate the battery:
1 Connect the AC adapter, then turn on your convertible tablet PC.
2 As soon as your convertible tablet PC starts and you see a startup
screen, press F2. The BIOS Setup utility opens.
3 Open the Advanced menu.
4 Highlight Battery Auto Learning, then select Enabled by pressing the
spacebar.
Important If the power cord or battery icon does not appear on the
taskbar, tap or click the show hidden icons button. If
the icon still does not appear, make sure that Always

Power Options Properties
dialog box.
