5. Battery
SECTION 1
This PC is capable of supplying power from a battery as well as the AC adapter as a mobile device.
Charging
1
Connect the AC adapter
With the connection of the AC adapter, charging starts. The battery charge indicator (
&
) and the remaining battery power indicator appear in the status indicator LCD.
2
Make sure that the battery charge indicator disappears and disconnect the AC adapter.
Critical Point
•
Charge the battery when you start using this PC 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 re-
maining 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 power is turned off, the indication on the status indicator LCD disappears soon after
charging is complete.
•
The battery charging capability 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 (
) blinks
in this case). Charging starts when the battery temperature falls after a while.
Using PC with Battery
