RECHARGING THE BATTERY

The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery,
make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC adapter.

There is no "memory effect" in Lithium-Ion batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge the
battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your note-
book is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put
your computer into Suspend mode, or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery.

Low Battery State

When the battery charge is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low
battery message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. When this
happens, your notebook PC goes into Suspend mode. There is no guarantee your data will be
saved once the notebook reaches this point.

To protect your computer from damage, use only the power adapter that came
with it because each power adapter has its own power output rating.

Once your notebook goes into Suspend mode as a result of a dead battery you will be unable to
resume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or a charged battery.
Once you have provided power, you can press the Suspend/ Resume button to resume operation.
In Suspend mode, your data is maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided
promptly, the Power indicator stops flashing and the light goes out, in which case you have lost
the data that was not saved. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your computer
while an adapter charges the battery.
