malfunction.
<When performing “Battery Recalibration” after shutting down Windows>
• Full charge: Approximately 2.5 hours
• Complete discharge: Approximately 4 hours
When performing “Battery Recalibration” without shutting down Windows, it may take more time to
charge / discharge.
Useful Information
Sensors
This computer is equipped with four sensors (acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, magnetic sensor,
ambient light sensor), and you can use these sensors with any software that is compatible.
As the accuracy of each sensor output is dependent on the operating environment and other conditions, the results should only be used as a reference.
The acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, and magnetic sensor are located at the bottom left of the
LCD. The detection results of each sensor may vary depending on the display mode, how you
are holding the computer, the application software you are using, and other factors.
