To remove the battery pack from its compartment, please refer to Inserting and Removing the Battery Pack.
Preparing the Battery Pack for Use (Battery Calibration)
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 drained go to the
next step. Otherwise, let the battery run down until the low battery warning beeps are heard. The system will
automatically enter into 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 low-battery state is achieved and you hear the 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.
In general, using the battery until the low battery-warning indicator appears and then fully recharging the battery each
time (full discharge/charge cycle) will ensure accurate reporting of the battery gauge status.
