To recharge the batteries, turn off the computer while it is connected to an
AC power source. The computer draws power from the AC line to
recharge the batteries. A full charge takes approximately 14 hours.
The small light at the upper right of the keyboard is a Low Battery
indicator. When this light comes on, follow the battery recharge
procedure. Always allow enough time for a full charge when recharging the
batteries.
Important Note
Charging the batteries over 14 hours does not increase the
battery power. Battery life may be reduced if the computer is
kept plugged-in for more than 14 hours and is not used.
Unplug the computer when it is not in use for long periods of
time.
