Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5
and 35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak,
battery pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life might
be shortened.

Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator will
flash amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If
you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the
computer will enable Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data,
and automatically turn itself off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.

Procedures

To recharge a battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack
and plug the other end into a working outlet - the Battery indicator will glow
amber while the battery is being charged.

using the computer - if you make heavy use of external devices for
example, the battery might scarcely charge at all during operation.

The battery may not begin charging immediately under the following
conditions:

The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it

The battery is nearly completely discharged. In this instance you
should leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the
