CAUTION:

the wall outlet before servicing or disassembling this
equipment. To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG

Power Saving Modes

This section contains information on the Notebook’s power
system, including the AC Adapter, the battery system,
recharging the battery, and tips for conserving battery power.

The power system is comprised of two parts, the AC Adapter
and the battery system. The AC Adapter converts AC power
from a wall outlet to the DC power required by the computer.

The Battery Power System

A fully charged pack will provide approximately 1 hour and 10
minutes (for 59.2Whr) or 2 hours (for 88.8Whr) of battery life
depending on your system configuration application it runs.

Before using the computer on battery power for the first time,
check the battery status icon on the Windows Toolbar to make
sure the battery is fully charged.

See Battery Status later in this section for a description and
explanation of the Windows Battery icon. Charging the battery
takes about 3 hours to charge when the system is in off state. If
possible, always charge the battery completely.

Removing the Battery Pack

To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer
to Chapter Two, Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack.
