Preparing the Battery Pack for Use

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 the remaining battery life status.

To calibrate the battery pack, follow the instructions below:

¾

Turn the computer off. Connect the AC adapter and let the battery
fully recharge. When the battery charge LED turns from orange to
green, the battery is fully charged.

¾

Turn On the computer and let the battery run down until the battery is
low-low and you hear continuous warning beeps. The system will
automatically enter the Suspend mode. You can now connect the AC
adapter.

¾

The battery pack is now properly calibrated.

In general, using the battery until the low battery warning indicator
appears and fully recharging the battery each time (full
discharge/charge cycle) will ensure the accuracy of the battery status
gauge.

Automatic Battery Pack Charging Function

You can automatically charge the battery pack by using the AC Adapter.

The charge time is almost two hours when the computer

power is turned off.
