The Battery LED indicator shows the battery charging status. The Battery LED, identified by
a battery indicator on the front of the computer, glows orange when the AC power cord is
charging the T2150 series battery pack.
If the Battery LED indicator glows green, the AC power cord is connected and the battery is
fully charged.
If the Battery LED indicator glows orange, the AC power cord is connected and the battery is
being charged.
If the Battery LED indicator does not glow, go to Check 1.
Check 1 Make sure the AC power cord is firmly plugged into the AC IN socket and wall
outlet. If these cables are connected correctly, go to Check 2.
