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 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 cord to a power outlet. The DC-IN or AC
power-light should glow green, and the battery
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 adapter and power
cord.
5 Charge the battery pack until the battery light 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 adapter 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 adapter.
❖ Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct
sunlight.
