Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or
when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected.
Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It
can take several hours.
1. Make sure that the computer power is turned off. Connect the AC
adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
2. After the battery pack is fully charged, turn on the computer. When the
message “Click mouse or press <Enter> for Menu” appears, click
the touchpad’s left button or press the Enter key to invoke the program.
3. A small window appears, select Launch System Setup.
4. Disconnect the AC adapter and leave the computer on until the battery
is fully discharged. The computer will shut down automatically.
5. Connect the AC adapter to fully charge the battery pack.
