leak, battery pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life 
might be shortened.

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

and real time clock battery discharge completely. Sleep and hiberna-
tion will not function and data in memory will be lose. Also, the com-
puter 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 in hibernate or sleep 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 

 in this chapter 

for procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power 
for an extended period, more than a month, the battery might fail to 
retain a charge. It might not function efficiently over the expected life 
of the battery pack and Battery indicator might not indicate a low-bat-
tery condition.

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

nected 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.

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator 
flashes orange 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 orange when the battery is being charged.
