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.

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 2.5 hours to charge when the 
system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery 
completely.
