See Battery Status later in this section for a description and
explanation of the Windows Battery icon.
Charging the battery takes about 2.5 hours to charge when the
system is in off state. If possible, always charge the battery
completely.
If you use the battery so frequently that it
exceed more than 20 times by fully discharging/charging in a
single month alone, we recommend you to perform the
“Battery Calibration” process every 3 months to maintain the
battery life.
Please refer to the topic on “Battery Calibration” describing
how to calibrate your system battery discussed on the latter
part of this chapter.
If you discover the battery life is getting shorter, please
perform the “Battery Calibration” process immediately.

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:
1.
Insert the battery into the battery compartment and turn on the
notebook. If the battery is completely without power go to the
next step. Otherwise, let the battery run down until the
battery low-low warning beeps are heard. The system will
automatically enter Suspend mode.
2.
Turn the notebook off. Connect the AC adapter and let the
battery fully recharge. When the battery charge indicator
turns off, the battery is fully charged.
3.
Turn On the notebook, let the battery run down until the
battery is in low-low state and you hear a warning beeps.
The system will automatically enter the Suspend mode. You
can now connect the AC adapter.
4.
The battery pack is now calibrated properly.
