Battery Care

The Notebook PC's battery pack, like all rechargeable batteries, has a limit on the number times it can be

recharged. Fully draining and charging the battery once a day every day will last over a year but how long

beyond that will depend on your environment temperature, humidity, and how your Notebook PC is used. It is

ideal that the battery be used in a temperature range between 10°C and 29°C (50°F and 85°F). You must also

take into account that the Notebook PC's internal temperature is higher than the outside temperature. Any

temperatures above or below this range will shorten the life of the battery. But in any case, the battery pack's

usage time will eventually decrease and a new battery pack must be purchased for this Notebook PC. Because

batteries also have a shelf life. It is not recommended to buy extras for storing.

Note:

The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage is too high. BIOS provides a smart battery

refreshing functions.

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 Shut Down and then choose

Restart.

In Windows XP, power OFF the Notebook PC by clicking Windows

Start button and select Shut Down and then choose Turn Off (or

Shut Down).
