Battery Power *1 *2 25 When the AC adaptor is connected. The orange display light has three modes: on, flashing and blinking. Note the difference between flashing and blinking. NOTE z Once the battery is fully charged, the computer performs recharging only when the remaining battery power becomes less than approximately 95% (75% when Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled), so overcharging is avoided. Checking the Remaining Battery Power There are three methods to check the remaining battery power.
Battery Power 26 NOTE z The battery display may not correspond to the actual remaining battery power in the cases as below. To correct the display, perform the Battery Recalibration (Î page 29). • The battery indicator remains red. • The battery indicator lights orange and the display shows 99% for a long time (79% when Economy Mode (ECO) is enabled). • Low battery warning appears soon after a short time of use.
Battery Power 27 Computer behavior with low battery The default settings are as follows. When the remaining battery power becomes 10% [Low battery alarm] When the remaining battery power becomes 5% [Critical battery alarm] z Displays a message that the remaining battery power is low. z Displays a message that the remaining battery power is low, and then the computer enters hibernation. ↓ ↓ Charge the battery.

When making a setting for [When the alarm goes off, the computer will] in [Alarms] [Alarm Action]: Add a check mark for [Force stand by or shutdown even if a program stops responding]. B. Set the value for [Critical battery alarm] to 5% or more. This is necessary for the standby or hibernation to be completed (assuring data is saved) when the remaining battery power is low.
Battery Power 29 Correcting the Battery Display (Battery Recalibration) The “Battery Recalibration” function measures and memorizes the battery capacity. To correct the battery display, use this function to fill the battery and then discharge it completely. Perform the procedure at least once immediately after purchasing the computer. Normally the interval of “Battery Recalibration” is three months. The battery display may not be correct when the battery pack deteriorates after a long time use.
Battery Power z z z z 30 When using the battery pack (CF-VZSU52W) • Full charge: Approximately 4 hours [MAX] • Complete discharge: Approximately 3 hours “Battery Recalibration” does not increase the battery’s capacity.
