power outlet.
 Turn the notebook upside down.
 Unlock the battery by pushing the lock outwards into the Unlock position.
 Hold the lock in the open position and remove the battery.
ATTENTION!
Do not remove the battery while the Notebook is switched on or data may
be lost.
Take care when storing the battery and when using the Notebook that the
contacts on the battery and the Notebook are not soiled or damaged. This
could cause malfunctions.
6.3.3. Charging the Battery
The battery is charged using the mains adapter. When the mains adapter is con-
nected and switched on, the battery charges automatically regardless of whether or
not the Notebook is switched on or not. A complete charge takes a few hours with
the Notebook switched off. With the Notebook switched on, the charging process
takes significantly longer.

The charging process is interrupted if the battery voltage or temperature
gets too high.
6.3.4. Discharging the Battery
Operate the Notebook on battery power until it turns itself off due to low battery
charge.
PLEASE NOTE!
Be sure to save your open files promptly to prevent any data loss.
6.3.5. Battery Performance
The actual operating time varies depending on the configuration of the power-sav-
ing functions. You can configure these to suit your requirements in the Control Pa-
nel under System and Security, Power Options. Note: your Notebook consumes
more power when running certain applications, e.g. when playing a DVD.
