Notes on the battery
❑
To determine the remaining battery charge, see “Displaying Battery
Information” in your online user guide for more information.
❑
Keep the battery pack in the notebook while it is connected to AC power.
The battery pack continues to charge while you are using the notebook.
❑
If your battery level falls to less than 10 percent, you should either attach the
AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your notebook and insert a
fully-charged battery.
❑
You can extend battery life by changing the power management modes in the
PowerPanel utility. See “Using Power Saving Modes” on page 34 for more
information.
❑
The battery pack supplied with your notebook is a lithium-ion battery and
can be recharged at any time. Charging a partially discharged battery does
not affect battery life.
❑
The battery indicator is on while you use the battery pack as a power source.
When battery life is nearly depleted, the battery indicator flashes.
❑
Your notebook may not enter Hibernate mode when the battery life is low, if
certain software applications are active, or if certain peripheral devices are
connected. To avoid loss of data when using battery power, save your data
frequently and manually activate a power management mode.
Removing Battery Pack
✍
You may lose data if you remove the battery pack while the notebook is on and not
connected to the AC adapter or if you remove the battery while the notebook is in a
power saving mode.
