Getting Started
Charging the main battery
The AC power and battery lights glow.
Charging the main battery
To charge the main battery, plug the computer into a live wall
outlet. It takes several hours to charge the battery with the
computer off. It takes much longer to charge the battery while
the computer is on. For more information on battery use, see
"Running the computer on battery power" on page
Damaged power cables can cause fire or electric shock. Never
modify, forcibly bend, place heavy objects on top of, or apply
heat to the power cable.
If the power cable becomes damaged or the plug overheats,
discontinue use. There is a risk of electric shock.
Never remove the power plug from the outlet with wet hands.
Doing so may cause an electric shock.
TECHNICAL NOTE: The battery does not charge while the
computer is consuming full power.
Once the battery is charged for the first time, avoid leaving the
computer plugged in and turned off for more than a few hours
at a time. Continuing to charge a fully charged battery can
damage the battery.
Battery life and charge time may vary depending on the
applications, power management settings, and features used.
