Conditioning the Battery Pack
You need to condition the battery pack when the actual remaining power in your
battery is less than what Windows Power Meter indicates, or you buy a new battery
pack.
1.
Make sure the computer is turned off. Connect the computer to AC power and
wait until the battery is fully charged. The battery status indicator turns orange
first; then, turns to green when the battery pack is fully charged.
2.
Turn on the computer.
3.
When the message <F2> to enter System Configuration Utility appears, press F2
to open the Setup Utility.
4.
Disconnect the AC adapter, and leave the computer on until the battery is
3
completely discharged and the system shuts down automatically.
5.
Connect the computer to AC power and let the battery fully charged again.
6.
Turn on the computer and follow the steps 3 to 5 again.
7.
Restart the computer. The conditioning process is complete.
Do not connect the computer to a wall outlet while discharging the
battery. The conditioning will be cancelled.
Changing the Battery Pack
The capacity of a battery pack gradually decreases when used repeatedly (the
deterioration rate depends on the operating environment). If the battery life becomes
extremely short even after the conditioning, you should buy a new battery pack. Ask
your local dealer for a new battery pack.
When you replace the battery pack with a new one:
1.
Turn off the computer and disconnect the AC adapter from the computer.
2.
Close the display cover and turn over the computer on a flat place.
