If you use the battery so frequently that it exceed more than
20 times by fully discharging/charging in a single month
alone, we recommend you to perform the “Battery
Calibration” process every 3 months to maintain the battery
life. Please refer to the topic on “Battery Calibration”
describing how to calibrate your system battery discussed
on the latter part of this chapter.
If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please
perform the “Battery Calibration” process immediately.
Removing the Battery Pack
To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to
Chapter 3, Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack.
Preparing the Battery Pack for Use
Before using the battery pack for the first time, the Smart Battery IC
within the battery pack should be calibrated in order to get accurate
reporting of remaining battery life status.
To calibrate the battery pack, follow the instructions below:
1.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The battery pack is now calibrated properly.
In general, using the battery until the low-low battery-warning
indicator appears and fully recharges the battery each time (full
discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accurate reporting of the
battery gauge status.
