USBchargingfunction
It is recommended that the notebook be operated with the AC adapter connected
whenever the U SB port with charging function is in use, as this function will drain
the battery more quickly if an external USB device is be ing charged.
The AC adapter must already be connected when the notebook is switched
off, as otherwise the USB cha rging function will be disabled and the
connected USB devices will not be charged.
Some USB devices (e.g. mobile telephony) require a driver in order to utilize the USB
charging function. In this case the USB charging function will not work when the
notebook is switched off, as no drivers are active when the notebook is switched off.
