3-4 Managing Power
CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not immediately
disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may
damage the battery.
NOTE: The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge
process (0.21 % per day), even when the battery pack is fully charged (100 %).
This happens no matter if the battery pack is installed in the computer.
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.
Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating
time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using
the computer.
