Recharging the Battery Pack

To recharge the battery pack:
1. Connect the notebook to external power and maintain
the connection until the battery pack is fully recharged. The
battery light on the notebook is turned off.
You can use the notebook while the battery pack is recharging
but the battery pack will charge faster if the notebook is off.
2. If the notebook is off, turn it on when the battery pack is fully
charged and the battery light is turned off.
3. Access the Power Schemes tab by selecting Start >
Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance >
Power Options > Power Schemes tab.
4. Refer to the settings you recorded earlier. Reenter the settings
that you recorded for the items in the Plugged In column and
the Running on Batteries column.
5. Select OK.
