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.
