Connect the AC adapter to the computer and the 
power cable to a power outlet.
The DC-IN (if applicable to your system) or AC 
power light should glow green, and the battery light 
should glow amber to indicate that the battery is 
being charged. If the DC-IN or AC power light 
indicator does not glow, power is not being supplied. 
Check the connections to the AC adapter and power 
cable.

Charge the battery until the battery light glows green.
If you have extra batteries, rotate their use.
If you will not be using the system for an extended period 
(more than one month) remove the battery.
Disconnect the AC adapter when the battery is fully 
charged. Overcharging makes the battery hot and 
shortens life.
If you are not going to use the computer for more than 
eight hours, disconnect the AC adapter.
Store spare batteries in a cool dry place out of direct 
sunlight.
Charging batteries 
The main battery needs to be charged before you can use it to 
power the computer. You can charge the battery using your 
computer, or you can use an optional battery charger.
CAUTION: Never leave batteries in the battery charger for more 
than a week at a time. Doing so may reduce the potential charge of 
the battery.
Use only battery chargers designed to work with your notebook 
computer. You can order a Toshiba battery charger from Toshiba’s 
Web site at
