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 adapter connected)
❖ Glows green when the main battery is fully charged
(AC adapter connected)
❖ Is unlit when the main battery has discharged, the
main battery is not charging, or the AC adapter is not
plugged into the computer or AC outlet
❖ Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low
and it is time to recharge the main battery or plug in
the AC adapter.
If the battery indicator light continues to flash amber during
charging, either the main battery is malfunctioning, or it is not
receiving input from the AC power supply correctly.
Disconnect the AC cable and remove the main battery. See
“Changing the main battery” on page 118 for information on
replacing the main battery.
Charging the main battery
Your computer came with its battery already installed. Before
