Fully discharging your battery pack will allow better accuracy of 
the battery meter.

To fully discharge your battery pack:

❖

Periodically, 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 adaptor and turn on the computer’s 
power. If it does not turn on, go to step 

.

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 flashes or there is some 
other warning to indicate a low battery, go to step 

.

Connect the AC adaptor to the computer and the 
power cord/cable to a power outlet. The DC-IN or AC 
power-light should glow white, and the battery light 
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 adaptor and power cord/cable.

Charge the battery pack until the battery light glows white. 

If you are not going to use the computer for more than eight hours, 
disconnect the AC adaptor.

Never attempt to dispose of a computer by burning or by 
throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating 
apparatus (e.g., microwave oven). Heat can cause a computer to 
explode and/or release caustic liquid, both which may possibly 
cause serious injury.

Discard this computer in accordance with applicable laws and 
regulations.

Disposal of this product may be regulated due to environmental 
considerations. For disposal, reuse or recycling information, please 
contact your local government.
