The Battery Power System
Before using the computer on battery power for the first time,
disconnect the power adapter and check the battery status icon on the
Windows Toolbar to make sure the battery is fully charged.
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:
h 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.
h 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.
h 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.
