Charging the Battery

To charge the battery, plug the AC adaptor into the netbook and an electrical
outlet. Whenever possible, use the AC adaptor to keep the netbook connected
to a power source.
For a totally discharged battery, it will take approximately two hours to charge
to 90% capacity, and approximately three hours to 100% while the netbook is
powered off. It will take about five hours to charge the battery to 100% capacity
while the netbook is powered on.
If the system runs at heavy loads or in a high temperature environment, the
battery may not be fully charged. You need to continue to charge it with the AC
adaptor plugged in until the charging LED turns blue.
