Mobile computing
Running the computer on battery power
The computer contains a removable lithium ion (Li-ion) high-capacity
battery that provides power when you are away from an AC outlet. You can
recharge it many times.
To ensure that the battery maintains its maximum capacity, operate the
computer on battery power at least once a month until the battery is fully
discharged. Please see "Maximizing battery life" on page 43 for
procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power, either
through an AC adapter or a docking station for an extended period, more
than a month, the battery may fail to retain a charge. It may not function
efficiently over the expected life of the battery and the battery light may not
indicate a low-battery condition.
Monitoring battery power
The battery light indicates the main battery's current charge. It:
❖
Glows green when the battery is fully charged
❖
Glows amber while the battery is being charged
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can break off
inside the computer and damage it.
Never pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back (where the
ports are located).
