Battery Information

Please follow these simple guidelines to get the best use out of your battery.

New Battery

Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (see “Battery FAQ”

on page D - 26 for instructions on how to do this).

Battery Life

Your computer’s battery life is dependent upon many factors, including the programs
you are running, and peripheral devices attached. Power Options (you may set low
battery Alarms and actions, and check the Power Meter from the Power Options
control panel), and settings in the OS will help prolong the battery life if configured
appropriately.



Low Battery

Warning

When the battery is criti­cally low, immediately
connect the AC/DC
adapter to the computer
or save your work, oth­erwise, the unsaved
data will be lost when
the power is depleted.

Windows XP Information

Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life and improve its perfor­mance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once every 30 days.

We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. If you need to remove the battery for any reason,
see “Removing the Battery” on page 6 - 3.

Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter

The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached and plugged into an electrical out­let. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it will take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the
computer is turned off but plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. (Refer to “LED Indica-

tors” on page 1 - 7 for information on the battery charge status, and to “Battery Information” on page D - 23

for more information on how to maintain and properly recharge the battery pack.)



Conserving Battery Power

To conserve battery power:
Lower the brightness level of the LCD display. The system will decrease LCD brightness slightly to save power when it is not powered by

the AC/DC adapter.
Close modem or communication applications when they are not being used.

D

Remove any unused PC Cards from the computer (PC Cards quickly use up battery power even if the system enters sleep mode).
Disconnect any unnecessary external devices.

D - 24 Battery Information

Proper handling of the Battery Pack

• DO NOT disassemble the battery pack under any circumstances

• DO NOT expose the battery to fire or high temperatures, it may explode

• DO NOT connect the metal terminals (+, -) to each other



Damaged Battery Warning

Should you notice any physical defects (e.g. the battery is bent ou t of shape after being
dropped), or any unusual smells emanating from the notebook battery, shut your computer
down immediately and contact your service center. If the battery has bee n d roppe d we do
not recommend using it any further, as even if the computer continues to work with a dam­aged battery in place, it may cause circuit damage, which may possibly result in fire . It is
recommended that you replace your computer battery every two years.

Caution

Danger of explosion if
battery is incorrectly re­placed.

Replace only with the
same or equivalent type
recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard
used battery according
to the manufacturer’s in­structions.

How do I completely discharge the battery?

Use the computer with battery power until it shuts down due to a low battery. Don’t
turn off the computer by yourself even when you see a message that indicates the bat­tery is critically low, just let the computer use up all of the battery power and shut
down on its own. Disable the Power Options functions in the Control Panel, espe-
cially any Alarms (unclick the tickboxes - see page D - 23) and Schemes (change
all the settings to Never - see page D - 18). As the battery nears the end of its life save
and close any critical files.

How do I fully charge the battery?

When charging the battery, don’t stop until the LED charging indicator light changes
from orange to green.

How do I maintain the battery?

Completely discharge and charge the battery at least once every 30 days or after
about 20 partial discharges.
