If something goes wrong

3 Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If the battery
has at least five minutes of operating time, continue operating until the
battery is fully discharged. If the battery light flashes or there is some
other warning to indicate a low battery, go to step 4.
4 Connect the AC adapter to the computer and the power cable to a
power outlet. The DC-IN (if applicable to your system) or AC power
light should glow green, and the battery light should glow amber to
indicate that the battery is being charged. If the DC-IN or AC power
light indicator does not glow, power is not being supplied. Check the
connections to the AC adapter and power cable.
5 Charge the battery until the battery light glows green.
❖
If you have extra batteries, rotate their use.
❖
If you will not be using the system for an extended period (more than
one month), remove the battery.
❖
Disconnect the AC adapter when the battery is fully charged.
Overcharging makes the battery hot and shortens life.
❖
If you are not going to use the computer for more than eight hours,
disconnect the AC adapter.
❖
Store spare batteries in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.
