being charged, and glows blue when it is fully charged.

The battery may not start charging immediately under the 
following conditions:

❖

The battery is extremely hot or cold. To ensure that the 
battery charges to its full capacity, wait until it reaches 
room temperature.

❖

The battery is almost completely discharged. Leave the 
power connected and the battery should begin charging 
after a few minutes.

To maximize the life of your battery pack:

❖

At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a 
power source and operate it on battery power until the 
battery pack fully discharges. Before doing so, follow the 
steps below:

Turn off the computer’s power.

Disconnect the AC adapter and turn on the 
computer’s power. If it does not turn on, go to step 

Operate the computer on battery power for five 
minutes. If the battery pack has at least five minutes 
of operating time, continue operating until the battery 
pack is fully discharged. If the battery light LED 
flashes or there is some other warning to indicate a 
low battery, go to step 

.

Connect the AC adapter to the computer and the 
power cord to a power outlet. The DC-IN or AC 
power-light LED should glow blue, and the Battery 
LED should glow amber to indicate that the battery 
pack is being charged. If the DC-IN or AC power-
light indicator does not glow, power is not being 
supplied. Check the connections for the AC adapter 
and power cord.
