Using your notebook
20
If the battery level falls to below 10%, you should either attach the AC adapter to recharge the battery or shut down your computer and insert a fully
charged battery.
You can extend battery life by changing the power management modes in the PowerPanel utility.
The battery pack supplied with your computer is a lithium ion battery and can be recharged any time. Charging a partially discharged battery does
not affect battery life.
The battery indicator light is on while you use the battery pack as a power source. When the battery life is nearly depleted, the battery indicator starts
flashing.
Removing the battery pack
To remove the battery pack, proceed as follows:
1
Turn off the computer.
2
Slide the release lever (1) to the
Unlock
position and slide the battery away from the computer.
✍
You may lose data if you remove the battery pack while the computer is on and not connected to the AC adapter or if you remove the battery while
the computer is in
Standby
mode.
