Handling the Battery Pack
3. Lower the battery pack into the computer battery compartment so that
the cover is flush with the bottom of the computer case. Then slide the
locking latch toward the (closed padlock) symbol.
4. Turn the computer right side up and reconnect the AC Adapter and any
other external devices to the computer.
Conditioning the Battery Pack
An unconditioned battery-one that is brand-new, one installed in a computer that has not
been used for a long time, one that refuses a full charge, or one that has sat 'on the shelf
for several months-must be conditioned before it will accept a full charge. Condition and
charge the battery pack as follows.
1. Install the internal battery pack in your computer (if not already
installed) as described earlier in this chapter.
2. Unplug the AC Adapter from the computer and allow the battery to
discharge fully by using the computer on battery power (or just leave the
computer turned on).
