RECHARGING THE BATTERY

The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery,
make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC adapter.

There is no "memory effect" in Lithium-Ion batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge the
battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your note-
book PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly,
put your computer into Suspend mode or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.

Low Battery State

When the battery charge is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low
battery message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this
happens, your notebook PC goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be
saved once the notebook reaches this point.

To protect your notebook from damage, use only the power adapter that came
with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating.

Once your notebook PC goes into Suspend mode as a result of a dead battery, you will be unable
to resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter or a charged
battery. Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/ Resume button to resume
operation. In Suspend mode, your data is maintained for some time, but if a power source is not
provided promptly, the Power indicator stops flashing and then goes out, in which case you have
lost the data that was not saved. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your com-
puter while an adapter charges the battery.

Battery Replacement

There is danger of explosion if an incorrect battery type is used for replacement. For computers
equipped with a replaceable lithium-ion battery pack, the following applies:
-

if the battery is placed in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA, there shall be a marking close to

the battery, or a statement in both the operating and the servicing instructions;

-

if the battery is placed elsewhere in the computer, there shall be a marking close to the battery

or a statement in the servicing instructions.

The marking or statement shall include the following or similar text:

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.
