Getting Started
Charging the main battery
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
If the main battery is present, the battery light 
 glows:
Amber while the battery is charging
Green when the battery is fully charged
Flashing amber means 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, the main 
battery is either malfunctioning, or it is not receiving input 
from the AC power supply. 
Disconnect the AC power cord/cable and remove the main 
battery pack. See 
information on replacing the battery.
Charging the main battery
Your computer came with its battery already installed. Before 
using the battery to power the computer, you must charge the 
battery.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into an AC 
power source for several hours with the computer turned off. 
After that, the 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.
