Power and Power-Up Modes

6. Be sure to monitor the remaining battery power. If the battery pack and 

real time clock battery discharge completely, Standby and Suspend will 

not function and data in memory will be lost. Also, the computer might 

register an incorrect time and date. In this case, connect the AC adaptor 

to recharge the batteries.

7. Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the 

power and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery 

pack while the computer is in Suspend or Standby mode. Data will be 

lost.

1. Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is 

enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable 

the Wake-up on LAN function.

2. To ensure the battery pack maintains maximum capacity, operate the 

computer on battery power once a week until the battery pack is fully 

discharged. Refer to the section Extending battery life in this chapter for 

procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power for 

an extended period, more than a week, the battery might fail to retain a 

charge. It might not function efficiently over the expected life of the 

battery pack and the Battery indicator might not indicate a low-battery 

condition.

3. After the battery pack is charged, avoid leaving the AC adaptor 

connected and the computer turned off for more than a few hours at a 

time. Continuing to charge a fully charged battery pack can damage the 

battery.

Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator 

flashes amber indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If 

you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the 

computer enables Hibernation mode (so you don't lose data) and 

automatically turns off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.

To recharge a battery pack while it is installed in the computer, connect the 

AC adaptor to the DC IN socket and plug the other end into a working 

outlet.
The Battery indicator glows amber when the battery is being charged.
