Recharging the Battery with the AC Adapter
The battery pack automatically recharges when the AC adapter is at-
tached and plugged into an electrical outlet. If the computer is pow-
ered on, and in use, it will take several hours to fully recharge the
battery. When the computer is turned off but plugged into an electri-
cal outlet, battery charge time is reduced (refer to
“LED Power Indi-
cators” on page 2-8
for information on the battery charge status).
Proper handling of the Battery Pack
• DO NOT disassemble the battery pack under any circumstances.
• DO NOT expose the battery to fire or high temperatures, it may
explode.
• DO NOT connect the metal terminals (+, -) to each other (for more
information on how to maintain the battery pack, refer to
“Battery
Information” on page 3 - 24
).
