Getting Started 3

NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you continue to ignore the low battery

warnings, the Notebook PC eventually enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR).

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

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 depletion or no power

supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).

Note: Screen captures shown

here are examples only and

may not reect what you 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 discharge

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.

NOTE: 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 bat-

tery 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.
