Before using the battery pack for the first time, the Smart Battery IC within
the battery pack should be calibrated in order to get accurate reporting of
remaining battery life status.
To calibrate the battery pack follows the instructions below:
Insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn on the Notebook.
