Running the computer on battery power
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.4.0
3 Operate the computer on battery power for five
minutes. If the battery has at least five minutes of
operating time, continue operating until the battery is
fully discharged. If the battery light flashes or there is
some other warning to indicate a low battery, go to
step 4.
4 Connect the AC adapter to the computer and the
power cable to a power outlet. The DC-IN (if
applicable to your system) or AC power light should
glow green, and the battery light should glow amber
to indicate that the battery is being charged. If the
DC-IN or AC power light indicator does not glow,
power is not being supplied. Check the connections
to the AC adapter and power cable.
5 Charge the battery until the battery light glows green.
❖ If you have extra batteries, rotate their use.
❖ If you will not be using the system for an extended period
(more than one month) remove the battery.
❖ Disconnect the AC adapter when the battery is fully
charged. Overcharging makes the battery hot and
shortens its life.
❖ If you are not going to use the computer for more than
eight hours, disconnect the AC adapter.
❖ Store spare batteries in a cool dry place out of direct
sunlight.
