Battery Power
The battery pack has a function for measuring, storing and learning about battery capacity.
Using this function properly to accurately display remaining battery capacity requires that
the battery pack be fully charged (charged to 100%), then fully discharged, and then fully
charged again.
This procedure should be performed once after you purchase the computer. As you use
the battery pack over a long period of time, the remaining capacity display may become
inaccurate due to aging of the battery pack and other factors. The procedure described
below should be performed again.
NOTE
●
If the computer is turned off while refreshing the battery (electrical power outage,
accidental removal of the AC adaptor or battery pack, etc.), the battery will not be
refreshed correctly.
1
Attach the battery pack, then connect the AC adaptor.
Remove all peripherals (except for the battery pack and AC adaptor).
2
Use the “Refresh Battery” utility to fully discharge the battery
pack.
1
Run the Setup Utility. ( Ÿ page 54 )
2
Select [Refresh Battery] from [Exit] menu and press
Enter.
3
At the confirmation message, select [Yes] and press
Enter. Once the battery
indicator turns green, the battery pack will be completely discharged. It takes
approximately 3 hours until the power automatically goes off through the
complete discharge of the battery from the fully charged state.
3
Allow the battery pack to charge until the battery indicator turns
green.
Charging Time: Approximately 3 hours.
Accurately Displaying Battery Capacity
When making a setting for [When the alarm goes off, the computer will] in [Alarms] - [Alarm
Action], add a check mark for [Force stand by or shutdown even if a program stops
responding].
Set the value for [Critical battery alarm] to 5% or more. This is necessary for the standby
or hibernation function to be completed (assuring data is saved) when the battery level is
low.
