Recharging the Battery Pack
1. Connect the notebook to external power and maintain the
connection until the battery pack is fully recharged and the
battery light is turned off.
You can use the notebook while the battery pack is
recharging, but the battery pack will charge faster if the
notebook is turned off.
2. If the notebook is turned off, turn on the notebook when the
battery light is turned off, indicating that the battery pack is
fully charged.
3. Display the settings on the Power Schemes tab. To access
the
Power Schemes tab:
Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options > Power Schemes tab.
4. Reenter the settings you recorded earlier for the items in the
Plugged In column and the Running on Batteries column.
5. Select OK.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent an unintended battery drain and a potential loss
of work when the notebook reaches a critical low-battery condition,
reenable hibernation after calibrating the battery pack. To reenable
hibernation: Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance
> Power Options > Hibernate tab. Select the
Enable Hibernation check box, and then select OK.
