Chapter 3 - Battery and Power Management

Charging the Battery

To charge the battery, plug the AC adapter into the system and

an electrical outlet. The AC adapter converts alternating current

(AC) into direct current (DC). When the power switch is turned

on, the AC adapter supplies power to the system and recharges

the battery pack only when the system in suspend mode.

Otherwise, to recharge you must turn off the computer.

Recharging takes about 80 minutes for an empty battery pack

when the computer is off or in suspend mode. The battery will

not recharge while the computer is being used.

While the battery is charging, the CHARGE LED is orange.

Once the battery is fully charged, the CHARGE LED turns

green.

Pre-charging a Dead Battery

If the battery has been completely discharged or placed in

prolonged storage, it may need a pre-charge in addition to a

normal charge. A pre-charge can take as little as a few seconds

or as much as an hour in some extreme cases. While the battery

pre-charges, the CHARGE LED will slowly flash orange.

Battery Temperature Sensor

The AC adapter will not charge a battery when it is too hot or

too cold. If the battery is outside normal operating temperature,

the adapter will wait for the battery to warm up or cool down

before it begins charging. While the system unit waits for the

battery to return to normal operating temperature, the

CHARGE LED will slowly flash green.
