Lithium-Ion Battery Bay
The battery bay contains the internal Lithium-Ion battery. It can be opened for the removal
of the battery when stored over a long period of time or for swapping a discharged battery
with a charged Lithium-Ion battery.
Power Sources
Your computer has two types of power source: a Lithium-Ion battery or an AC adapter.
CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTERS
The AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC and charging the battery.
Connecting the AC Adapter
1. Plug the DC output cable into the DC power jack of your notebook PC.
2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.
Switching from AC Adapter Power to Battery Power
1. Be sure that you have at least one charged battery installed.
2. Remove the AC adapter. Your notebook will automatically switch from DC power to bat-
tery power.
Note: The Lithium-Ion battery is not charged upon purchase. Initially, you will need
to connect the AC adapter to use your notebook PC.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the bat-
tery, make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC.
There is no „memory e ect" in Lithium-Ion batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge
the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be signi cantly longer if
your notebook PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery
more quickly, put your computer into Suspend mode, or turn it o while the adapter is
charging the battery.
