To recharge the RTC battery, plug the computer into a live electrical 
outlet and leave the computer powered on for 24 hours.

It is seldom necessary to charge the RTC battery because it charges 
while the computer is on. If the RTC battery is low, the real-time 
clock and calendar may display the incorrect time and date or stop 
working.

When Hibernation mode is enabled and the RTC battery is 
completely discharged, a warning prompts you to reset the real-time 
clock.

The computer can be used while the RTC battery is being charged, 
although the charging status of the RTC battery cannot be 
monitored.

The computer’s main battery light gives you an indication of the 
main battery’s current charge.

❖

Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low and it is 
time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC adaptor

AC power supply.
