Critical Point
Charge the battery when you start using this computer after purchase or if you have not
charged it for more than 1 month.
Battery charging is complete when the battery charge indicator disappears and the leftmost
remaining battery power indicator changes from a blinking (
) to a lit (
). Take
sufficient time for battery recharging to make sure that the battery is fully charged.
When the remaining battery power is still 90% or more, the unit does not start charging even
if the AC adapter is connected. Charging starts when the power is 89% or less.
When the MAIN switch is off, the indication on the CoolView Panel disappears soon after
charging is complete.
The battery charging cappaability deteriorates if the room temperature is too high or too low.
Battery charging might not begin if the battery temperature is too high after usage (the
battery charge indicator blinks in this case). Charging starts when the battery temperature
falls after a while.
