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
If the battery light flashes amber during charging, either the 
battery pack is malfunctioning, or it is not receiving input 
from the AC power supply. Disconnect the AC cable and 
remove the battery pack. See 
 for troubleshooting information.
Charging the main battery
To charge the main battery, plug the computer into a live wall 
outlet. It takes several hours to charge the battery with the 
computer off. It takes much longer to charge the battery while 
the computer is on. For more information on battery use, see 
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.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When your computer is using all of the 
power provided by the AC Adapter to run applications, 
features, and devices, the recharging of the battery cannot 
occur. Your computer's Power Saver utility can be used to 
select a power level setting that reduces the power required for 
system operation and will allow the battery to recharge.
