Is unlit when the main battery has discharged, the battery 
is not charging, or the AC adapter is not plugged into the 
computer or AC outlet.
Flashes amber when 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, 
either the main battery is malfunctioning, or it is not 
receiving correct input from the AC power supply. 
Disconnect the AC cable and remove the main battery 
pack. See 
 for 
information on replacing the main battery.
Using the main battery
To charge the main battery, plug the computer into a live wall 
outlet. Before using the main battery to power the computer 
you must first charge it.
To charge the main battery, leave the computer plugged into a 
live wall outlet for several hours with the computer turned 
off. After that, the main 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.
