Turning On Your Computer

3

Push the battery bay cover up until it clicks.

Once you connect the AC adapter to the computer, the battery begins to charge
whether or not the computer is turned on or off. The battery indicator flashes in a
double-blink pattern as the battery charges.

When the battery is 85 percent full, the battery indicator turns off. It takes longer
to recharge the battery when the computer is turned on than when it is turned off.

The

battery indicator on the front of the computer indicates the status of the

battery pack.

To connect the AC adapter and turn on your computer

1

Plug the cable attached to the AC adapter into the DC In port on your
computer or docking station.

2

Plug one end of the power cord into the AC adapter, and plug the other end
of the power cord into an AC outlet

If the port replicator is attached to your notebook, do not attempt to insert or remove
the battery pack. Lifting and turning the notebook with a port replicator attached could
cause a temporary loss of power.

To charge the battery completely, continue charging for one additional hour. See the
Powering Your Computer chapter in your online VAIO® Computer User Guide for
more information.
