Charging The Batteries - Toshiba Portege M100 User Manual

Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator
flashes orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain.
If you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes,
the computer enables Hibernation mode (so you don't lose data) and
automatically turns off.
The computer enters Hibernation mode only if Hibernation is enabled in
two places in TOSHIBA Power Saver: the Hibernate window and the
Battery Alarm item of the Alarm window.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.
Procedures
To recharge a battery pack while it is installed in the computer, connect
the AC adaptor to the DC IN 15V socket and plug the other end into a
working outlet.
The Battery indicator glows orange when the battery is being charged.
Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or the optional
TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the battery pack. Do not attempt to
charge the battery pack with any other charger.
