Warm-Swapping The Battery Packs; Battery Pack Charging Function - Asus P6300 Series User Manual

Warm-swapping the Battery Packs

The Notebook PC's battery power system supports "Warm-swapping" of battery packs. The "Warm-
swapping" should work together with either one of suspend modes of power management. (a reserved
space of hard disk drive should be available for selecting "Save-to-Disk" mode. Please refer to Chapter
1 or Chapter 7 for how to make a reserved space of "Save-to-Disk".)
For warm-swapping the battery packs, please follow the instructions as below :
1. Enter into either one of the power management suspend modes ("Save-to-RAM" or "Save-to-
Disk")
2. Turn the Notebook PC so that its underside is facing up and its front is facing you.

3. Locate the battery release knob marked with
the knob to the left to eject the battery pack.
4. Gently pull the pack which you like to replace out of the bay.
5. Gently slide in the other battery pack.
6. When the pack is fully locked you should hear it click into place.
7. Press [Enter] or other key or power button to resume the system.

Battery Pack Charging Function

You can charge the battery pack by using the AC Adapter. When the AC Adapter is plugged in, the
inserted battery pack will automatically be recharged while you are working on your Notebook PC or
just with the Notebook PC power turned off. It takes 2.5 to 3 hours for full-charged when power is off.
An icon on the system status panel indicates battery pack charging status with the outline of the icon.
The battery is under charging when blinking. A 4-level-bar gauge inside indicates the battery power
remaining.
