Battery Life

Battery life may be shortened through improper maintenance. To optimize the life and improve its perfor-
mance, fully discharge and recharge the battery at least once every 30 days
.

We recommend that you do not remove the battery yourself. If you do need to remove the battery for any reason
(e.g. long term storage) see

“Removing the Battery” on page 6 - 3

.

New Battery

Always completely discharge, then fully charge, a new battery (see

“Battery FAQ” on page D - 31

for instruc-

tions on how to do this).

Recharging the Battery with the AC/DC Adapter

The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC/DC adapter is attached and plugged into an electrical out-
let. If the computer is powered on, and in use, it will take several hours to fully recharge the battery. When the
computer is turned off but plugged into an electrical outlet, battery charge time is less. (Refer to

“LED Indica-

tors” on page 1 - 9

for information on the battery charge status, and to

“Battery Information” on page D - 27

for more information on how to maintain and properly recharge the battery pack.)
