3 Operate the computer on battery power for five
minutes. If the battery pack has at least five minutes
of operating time, continue operating until the battery
pack is fully discharged. If the battery light LED
flashes or there is some other warning to indicate a
low battery, go to step 4.
4 Connect the AC adaptor to the computer and the
power cord to a power outlet. The DC-IN or AC
power-light LED should glow green, and the Battery
LED should glow amber to indicate that the battery
pack is being charged. If the DC-IN or AC power-
light indicator does not glow, power is not being
supplied. Check the connections for the AC adaptor
and power cord.
5 Charge the battery pack until the Battery LED glows
green.
If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.
If you will not be using the system for an extended period
more (than one month) remove the battery pack.
Disconnect the AC adaptor when the battery is fully
charged. Overcharging makes the battery hot and
shortens life.
If you are not going to use the computer for more than
eight hours, disconnect the AC adaptor.
Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct
sunlight.
Disposing of used batteries safely
You can recharge a battery many times. When the battery

you have fully recharged the battery
