Recharging the Battery Pack
To recharge the battery pack:
1. Connect the notebook to external power and maintain
the connection until the battery pack is fully recharged. At
that time, the battery light on the notebook is turned off.
You can use the notebook while the battery pack is recharging
but the battery pack will charge faster if the notebook is off.
2. If the notebook is off, turn it on when the battery pack is fully
charged and the battery light is turned off.
3. Access the Power Schemes tab by selecting Start >
Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance >
Power Options > Power Schemes tab.
4. Refer to the settings you made a note of earlier. Reenter the
settings that you recorded for the items in the Plugged In
column and the Running on Batteries column.
5. Select OK.

CAUTION: After calibrating the battery pack, reenable hibernation.
Failure to reenable hibernation may result in a complete battery drain
and potential data loss.
To reenable hibernation, select Start > Settings > Control Panel >
Performance and Maintenance > Power Options >
Hibernate tab. Select the Enable Hibernation check box, and then
click Apply.
