Switching to Battery Power
This procedure should only be done if your
batteries currently have charge remaining. To
determine the current charge state of the battery,
press and hold the battery status button on the
front of the battery pack.
The Lithium-ION battery packs are
"hot-pluggable". To use battery power, install
batteries as described in Inserting the Battery
Pack later in this section. Your computer will
automatically switch to AC power whenever an
AC adapter is plugged into the notebook. At this
time, your batteries will automatically be
recharged.
Hint
To maintain a full charge on your battery,
always reconnect the computer to the AC
Adapter as soon as possible after battery
operations.
