Charging the batteries
When the power in the Battery Pack becomes low, the Battery indicator flashes in
orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue
to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the computer enables
Resume mode (so you do not lose data) and automatically turns off.
NOTE: The computer enters Hibernation mode only if Hibernation is
enabled in two places in : the Hibernate tab in Power Options and Setup
Action tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
You must recharge a Battery Pack when it becomes discharged.
Procedures
To recharge a Battery Pack while it is installed in the computer, connect the AC
adaptor to the DC IN 15V socket and plug the other end into a working outlet.
The Battery indicator glows in orange when the battery is being charged.
CAUTION: Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or
the optional TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the Battery Pack. Do
not attempt to charge the Battery Pack with any other charger.
Time
The following table shows the approximate time required to fully charge a dis-

NOTE: The charging time when the computer is on is affected by ambient
