Power and Power-up Modes

In such cases you should follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the computer with the power 

on until the system automatically turns itself off.

2. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and to 

a wall outlet that is supplying power.

3. Charge the battery until the Battery indicator glows green.
Repeat these steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal 

capacity.

Remaining battery power can be monitored in Power Options.

A battery's usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a 

single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:

■

Processor speed

■

Screen brightness

■

System Standby Mode

■

System Hibernation Mode

■

Display power off period

■

Hard disk drive power off period

■

How often and for how long you use the hard disk drive, optical disc and 

floppy diskette drives.

■

How much charge the battery contained to begin with.

■

How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the 

battery supplies power.

■

Whether you enable Standby Mode, which can conserve battery power 

if you are frequently turning the computer off and on.

■

Where you store your programs and data.

■

Whether you close the display panel when you are not using the 

keyboard - closing the display saves power.
