Setting Up the Computer
Before you set up the computer for the first time, ensure that
■ The computer is connected to AC power.
■ The computer is not docked in a docking station.
!
WARNING: Misuse of your personal computer or failure to establish
a safe and comfortable workstation could result in discomfort or
serious injury. Refer to your Safety & Comfort Guide for more
information on choosing a workplace and creating a safe and
comfortable work environment.
Charging the Battery Pack for the First Time
The battery pack begins to charge when the computer is connected
to external power.
Although a new battery pack can be used to power the computer
after receiving a partial charge, Compaq recommends that a new
battery pack be allowed to fully charge before the computer is
disconnected from external power or before the battery pack is
removed from the computer.
A new battery pack fully charges in approximately:
■ 2 hours when the computer is connected to external power and
is not being used.
■ 5 hours when the computer is connected to external power and
is being used.
