Disposing of your computer
Maintaining your battery
Fully discharging your battery pack will allow better accuracy of
the battery meter.
To fully discharge your battery pack:
❖ Periodically, disconnect the computer from a power source and
operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully
discharges. Before doing so, follow the steps below:
1 Turn off the computer’s power.
2 Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer’s
power. If it does not turn on, go to step 4.
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 adaptor to the computer and the
power cord/cable to a power outlet. The DC-IN or AC
power-light should glow white, and the battery light
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/cable.
5 Charge the battery pack until the battery light glows white.
If you are not going to use the computer for more than eight hours,
disconnect the AC adaptor.
Disposing of your computer
Never attempt to dispose of a computer by burning or by

apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a computer to
explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly
cause serious injury.
Discard this computer in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations.
Disposal of this product may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal, reuse or recycling information, please
