Getting Started
Charging the main battery
If the battery light flashes amber during charging, either
the battery pack is malfunctioning, or it is not receiving
input from the AC power supply. Disconnect the AC
cable and remove the battery pack. See
Goes Wrong" on page 159
information.
Charging the main battery
Your computer came with its battery already installed. Before
using the battery to power the computer, you must charge the
battery.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into an AC
power source for at least three hours with the computer
turned off. After that, the battery will be completely charged
and ready to power the computer.
Green when the battery is fully charged
Damaged power cords/cables can cause fire or electric shock.
Never modify, forcibly bend, place heavy objects on top of, or
apply heat to the power cord/cable.
If the power cord/cable becomes damaged or the plug over-
heats, 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.
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.
