Insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn
on the Notebook. If the battery is completely without
power go to the next step.
Otherwise, let the battery run down until the battery low-
low warning beeps are heard.
The system will automatically enter Suspend mode.
Turn the Notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let
the battery fully recharge. When the battery charge
indicator turns off, the battery is fully charged.
Turn On the notebook, let the battery run down until the
battery is in low-low state and you hear a warning beeps.
The system will automatically enter the Suspend mode.
You can now connect the AC adapter.
The battery pack is now calibrated properly.
In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning

discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate reporting of the
battery gauge status.
