Procedures
To recharge a battery pack while it is installed in the device, connect the AC
adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack and plug the other end into a working outlet.
Battery charging notice
The battery may not begin charging immediately under the following
conditions:
■
The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it
might not charge at all). To ensure the battery charges to its full
capacity, you should charge it at room temperature of between 5°C to
35°C (41°F to 95°F).
■
The battery is nearly completely discharged. In this instance you should
leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the battery
should begin charging.
■
Make sure the battery is securely installed in the device before
attempting to charge the battery pack. Improper installation could
generate smoke or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture.
■
Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can cause
injury.

The lithium ion battery pack can explode if not replaced, used, handled
or disposed of properly. Dispose of the battery as required by local

Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5 and

be shortened.
