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

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 figure 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 first 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�
