power. The battery pack continues to charge while you are using the notebook.
❑ If your battery level falls to less than 10%, you should either attach the AC

charged battery.

be recharged at any time. Charging a partially discharged battery does not
affect battery life.

certain software applications are running, or when certain peripheral devices
are connected. To avoid loss of data when using battery power, you should save
