another device could damage

in the country where you
purchased your notebook. If
you plan to go overseas with
the notebook, consult your
dealer for the appropriate
power cord.

My Presario – Getting Started
This chapter shows you how to maintain and recharge your battery
properly, and provides suggestions to increase the length time you
are able to operate the notebook under battery power.
The AC adapter serves as a converter from AC (Alternating Current)
to DC (Direct Current) power because your notebook runs on DC
power, but an electrical outlet usually provides AC power. It operates
in the range of 100∼240V AC.
The battery pack automatically recharges while your notebook is
connected to AC power.
The battery pack supplies power to your notebook when external
power is not available. It is rechargeable using the AC adapter.

Recharging the Battery Pack

To recharge the battery pack, connect the AC adapter to the
notebook and an electrical outlet. It takes approximately 90 minutes
to charge the battery pack to 80% capacity and one or two more
hours to fully charge the battery pack.
During recharging, the Battery Status Indicator
glows orange. You are advised to keep the notebook power off while
the battery is being recharged. The battery is fully recharged when
the Battery Status Indicator glows green.

Replacing the Battery Pack

If you often use the battery power for a long period of time while
traveling, you may consider the purchase of an additional battery
pack from your dealer, and keep it with you in fully charged state as a
backup.
To replace the battery pack, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the notebook is not turned on or connected to AC
power.
