The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low 

temperatures.

■

The condition of the battery terminals - you should always ensure the 

terminals stay clean by wiping them with a clean dry cloth before 

installing the battery pack.

When you turn off your computer with fully charged batteries, the batteries 

retain data for the following approximate time periods.

To maximize the life of your battery packs:

■

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 as detailed below.
1. Turn off the computer's power.
2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power - if it 

does not turn on then go to Step 4.

3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If you find 

that the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time, 

continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharged, 

however, if the Battery indicator flashes or there is some other 

warning to indicate a low battery condition, go to Step 4.

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

to a wall outlet that is supplying power. The DC IN indicator should 

glow green, and the Battery indicator should glow amber to indicate 

that the battery pack is being charged, however, in the event that 

DC IN indicator does not glow this indicates that power is not being 

supplied - check the connections for the AC adaptor and the power 

cord.

5. Charge the battery pack until the Battery indicator glows green.

■

If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.

■

If you will not be using the system for an extended period, for example 

for more than one month, remove the battery pack from the computer.
