❖ Is unlit when the main battery has discharged, the battery
is not charging, or the AC adapter is not plugged into the
computer or AC outlet.
❖ Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low and it
is time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC
adapter.
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging,
either the main battery is malfunctioning, or it is not
receiving correct input from the AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC cable and remove the main battery
pack. See “Changing the main battery” on page 146 for
information on replacing the main battery.
Using the main battery
To charge the main battery, plug the computer into a live wall
outlet. Before using the main battery to power the computer
you must first charge it.
To charge the main battery, leave the computer plugged into a
live wall outlet for several hours with the computer turned
off. After that, the main battery will be completely charged
and ready to power the computer.
Once the battery is charged for the first time, avoid leaving the
computer plugged in and turned off for more than a few hours
at a time. Continuing to charge a fully charged battery can
damage the battery.
