Charging the Battery Pack
Before you use your Notebook PC on the road, you will have to charge the battery pack. The battery
pack begins to charge as soon as the Notebook PC is connected to external power. Fully charge the
battery pack before using it for the first time. A new battery pack must completely charge before the
Notebook PC is disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the battery when
the Notebook PC is turned OFF and may take twice the time when the Notebook PC is turned ON. The
battery charge light turns OFF when the battery pack is charged.
