Charging The Battery; Battery Power - Medion NOTEBOOK COMPUTER Manual

HARGING THE
The battery is charged via the power adapter. If the power
adapter is connected, it charges the battery automatically,
whether the Notebook is turned on or not.
When the Notebook is switched off, full charging takes a few
hours. If the Notebook is switched on, the charging process
takes a significantly shorter time. However, it is recom-
mended that from time to time you discharge the battery
completely and recharge it afterwards with the Notebook
switched off. You can discharge the battery without losing
data, if you turn your notebook on without using any applica-
tion and no power adapter. As soon as the battery is empty
your notebook will enter the hibernate mode. We recommend
doing this procedure every time you think the battery power
is losing efficiency.

A fully charged Li-Ion battery will provide power for around 2
hours of operation. However, the battery life will vary accord-
ing to how the power saving functions are set, the way you
work, the size of the main memory and the display type.
When working in Windows an audible warning signal will be
given off as soon as the battery level drops below a set
minimum value. When this happens, the processing power is
reduced in order to save power.
NOTE: Battery warning signals and "Low-
Battery" mode will be heard immediately when
the power pack is first connected.
