Getting Started
Charging the main battery
3 Connect the power cord/cable to a live electrical outlet.
The AC power light on the indicator panel glows green.
Never attempt to connect or disconnect a power plug with wet hands.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in an electric shock,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
The computer’s main battery light gives you an indication of
the main battery’s current charge:
Glows amber while the main battery is being charged
(AC adaptor connected)
Glows green when the main battery is fully charged
Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low and it
is time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC
adaptor
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, either the main
battery is malfunctioning, or it is not receiving correct input from the
AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC power cord/cable and remove the main battery
pack. See “Changing the main battery” on page 94 for information
on replacing the main battery.
Charging the main battery
Before using the battery to power the computer, you must charge
the battery.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into an AC
power source with the computer turned off until the battery light
glows green. After that, the battery will be completely charged and
ready to power the computer.
Battery life and charge time may vary depending on the applications,
power management settings, and features used.
