  • Page 4: Battery Maintenance Guidance

    Battery Maintenance Guidance Before you use your Notebook on the road, you will have to charge the battery pack. The battery pack begins to charge as soon as the Notebook is connected to external power using the power adapter. Fully charge the battery pack before using it for the first time. A new battery pack must completely charge before the Notebook is disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when the Notebook is turned OFF. Please note the battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage is too high. NOTE: Do not leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will discharge over time. If not using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every three month to extend recovery capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future. Lithium-Ion rechargeable batteries require routine maintenance and care in their use and handling. Read through below instruction and your Notebook will achieve the maximum battery life span. Battery Maintenance : ● Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, either in the Notebook or in storage. When a battery has been unused for 3months, check the charge status and charge or dispose of the battery as appropriate. ● The typical estimated life of a Lithium-Ion battery is about two to three years or300 to 500 charge cycles, whichever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged, and fully recharged again. Use a two to three year life expectancy for batteries that do not run through complete charge cycles.

Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/ Resume button to resume operation.
