Charging The Battery; Battery Power - Medion NOTEBOOK COMPUTER Manual

HARGING THE ATTERY
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 recommended that
from time to time you discharge the battery completely and re-
charge it afterwards with the Notebook switched off. You can dis-
charge the battery without losing data, if you turn your notebook
on without using any application 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.

ATTERY OWER
A fully charged Li-Ion battery will provide power for around 2
hours of operation. However, the battery life will vary according 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.
