Getting Started 3

You will be warned when

battery power is low. If you

continue to ignore the low

battery warnings, the Note-

book PC eventually enters

suspend mode (Windows

default uses STR).

WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is de-

pleted. Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small

amount of power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery deple-

tion or no power supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).

see in your system.

Checking Battery Power

The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under the Windows environment, which

allows the battery to accurately report the amount of charge left in the battery. A fully-charged battery

pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But the actual gure varies depending

on how you use the power saving features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size,

and the size of the display panel.

WARNING! DO NOT leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will dis-

charge over time. If not using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every

three months to extend recovery capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future.

The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage is

too high.

Charging the Battery Pack

Before you use your Notebook PC on the road, you will have to charge the battery pack. The battery

pack begins to charge as soon as the Notebook PC is connected to external power using the power

adapter. Fully charge the battery pack before using it for the rst time. A new battery pack must

completely charge before the Notebook PC is disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours

to fully charge the battery when the Notebook PC is turned OFF and may take twice the time when

the Notebook PC is turned ON. The battery status indicator on the Notebook PC turns OFF when the

battery pack is charged.

The battery starts charging when the charge remaining in the battery drops below

95%. This prevents the battery from charging frequently. Minimizing the recharge

cycles helps prolong battery life.
