Charging the Battery Pack

Before you use your Notebook PC you will have to charge the battery pack. The battery pack begins to charge

as soon as the Notebook PC is connected to external power using the power adapter. Fully charge the battery

pack before using it for the first time. A new battery pack must completely charge before the Notebook PC is

disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when the Notebook PC is

turned OFF and may take twice the time when the Notebook PC is turned on. The battery charge light turns

OFF when the battery pack is charged.

Note:

The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage is too high.

The power switch turns ON and OFF the Notebook PC or putting the Notebook PC into sleep or hiberna-tion

modes. Actual behavior of the power switch can be customized in Windows Control Panel "Power Options."

For other options, such as "Switch User, Restart, Sleep, or Shut Down," click the arrowhead next to the lock

icon.

After making changes to your operating system, you may be prompted to

restart the system. Some installation processes will provide a dialog box to

allow restart. To restart the system manually, click Windows Start button

and select "Turn OFF computer" and then choose Restart.

In Windows Vista, power OFF the Notebook PC by clicking Windows Start

button and select "Turn OFF" and then choose Turn OFF (or Shut Down).
