Note
1. Never remove the battery pack while the Wake up on LAN function is
enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable
the Wake up on LAN function.
2. To ensure the battery pack maintains maximum capacity, operate the
computer on battery power once a week until the battery pack is fully
discharged. Refer to the section Extending battery life in this chapter
for procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power
for an extended period, more than a week, the battery might fail to
retain a charge. It might not function efficiently over the expected life
of the battery pack and the Battery indicator might not indicate a
low battery condition.
3. After the battery pack is charged, avoid leaving the AC adaptor
connected and the computer turned off for more than a few hours at a
time. Continuing to charge a fully charged battery pack can damage
the battery.
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 Resume mode (so you do not lose data) and
automatically turns off.
The computer enters Hibernation mode only if Hibernation is enabled in
two places: the Hibernate tab in Power Options and Setup Action tab in
TOSHIBA Power Saver.
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.
