To maximize the life of your battery packs, do the following at least once a

1. Turn off the computer's power.
2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power. If it
does not turn on then go to Step 4.
3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If you find
that the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time,
continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharge. However, if
the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes or there is some other warning to
indicate a low battery condition, go to Step 4.
4. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and
to a wall outlet that is supplying power. The DC IN/Battery indicator
glows amber to indicate that the battery pack is being charged.

power is not being supplied. Check the connections for the AC adaptor
and the power cord.
5. Charge the battery pack until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows
white.
