Small Battery for the Real Time Clock
There is a small built-in battery pack that supplies power to the system
in order to maintain certain system information while the power is off.
If the Notebook is left without a power source for long period of time,
this battery will be exhausted and system information will be lost.
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace
only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Never remove the battery pack while
the power is on as this may result in data loss when the system
loses power.
Battery Calibration
The purpose for this process is to provide a longer battery life for your
system battery pack.
1.
Turn on the computer, when the text appears, press [Del] or the
[Delete] key until the system enters the BIOS Setup screen, you
may now make the necessary changes.
2. Press the Î arrow key until it reaches the “Exit” menu screen.
Again press the Ð arrow key and select the “Battery Calibration”
item.
Press the [Enter] key and disconnect the AC adapter then press
the [Y] key until you hear continuous battery low-low warning
beeping sounds. The system will be fully discharge and shutdown
completely.
3. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery fully recharge. The
“Battery Charge LED” of the notebook will light indicating it is
in charging status.
4. When the battery charge LED turns off will indicate the system is
fully charged.
5. Repeat step 1 to 4 once again.
6. The battery is now fully calibrated.
Resetting the System
After installing a software application package, you may be prompted
to reset the system to load the changed operating environment. To
reset the system, or “reboot,” press the [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Delete] keys
simultaneously. This is known as “warm boot.”
This key combination acts as “software” reset switch when you
encounter hardware or software problems, which lock up the
Notebook.
