computer is on or off.
NOTE: Use only the battery charger supplied by Toshiba for use
with your computer’s batteries.
The battery light ( ) glows amber while the battery is being
charged, and glows green when it is fully charged.
A battery may not start charging immediately under the
following conditions:
❖ The battery is extremely hot or cold. To ensure that the
battery charges to its full capacity, wait until it reaches
room temperature.
❖ The battery is almost completely discharged. Leave the
power connected and the battery should begin charging
after a few minutes.

battery, plug the computer in and turn it on for at least 24
hours.
