❖

Do not expose the battery pack to fire. The battery pack 
could explode.

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 4.

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 4.

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 green, 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.

Charge the battery pack until the Battery LED glows 
green.

❖

If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.

❖

If you will not be using the system for an extended 
period, more than one month, remove the battery pack.

❖

Disconnect the AC adapter when the battery is fully 
charged. Overcharging makes the battery hot and 
shortens life.
