Gateway 9150 Guía Del Usuario

46     Using Your Gateway Solo™ 9150 Notebook

The notebook can run on a fully charged battery for about 3 to 4 hours of 
normal use before the battery needs recharging.

As long as the AC adapter is properly connected, the battery will charge 
while your notebook is operating.

Battery learning software

About once a year you will need to run the Battery Learning Software 
to re-calibrate the battery gauge. This learning cycle increases the battery 
gauge accuracy (gauge accuracy changes over time).

Because the learning cycle can take as long as 16 hours per battery, we 
suggest that you let the Learning Cycle program run overnight.

Insert the battery into the battery bay. 

Plug the AC adapter into the notebook, then to an AC outlet.

Insert the Portable System Restoration CD.

Start up your notebook.

After pressing the power button, watch for a message to appear on the 
bottom left side of your screen. This message will prompt you to press 
F2.

Press F2 as soon as the message appears. The BIOS Setup program 
opens.

In the 

 menu, select 

 by pressing the down arrow key.

Change the 

 value to 

 by pressing the ( - ) minus 

key.

Select the 

 menu by pressing the right arrow key.

To perform a learning cycle on the battery pack

 Important!

Removing the battery or 
disconnecting the AC 
power will interrupt the 
learning cycle. If the 
learning cycle is 
interrupted, it must be 
restarted from the 
beginning to properly 
condition the battery.
