Battery pack
The computer uses a battery pack that gives you long use between
charges.
Battery pack characteristics
The battery pack has the following characteristics:
•
Employs current battery technology standards
•
Battery-low warning
Whenever possible, use the AC adapter. The battery will come in
handy when you travel or during a power failure. It is advisable to
have an extra fully-charged battery pack available as backup. See your
dealer for more details.
Using a battery pack for the first time
When using a battery pack for the first time, follow these steps:
1
Connect the AC adapter to a power source and to the computer
and fully recharge the battery.
2
Disconnect the adapter to use up the battery before recharging
again.
You only need to do this once or twice with a new battery or with a
battery that's been stored without being used for a long time. If the
computer is to be stored for more than two weeks, we suggest you
remove the battery pack.
Warning! Do not expose battery packs to temperatures
below 0ºC (32ºF) or above 60ºC (140ºF). This may adversely
affect the battery pack.
Installing and removing the battery pack
Important! Before removing the battery pack, make sure that
you have an AC adapter connected to the computer; otherwise,
turn off the computer.
