Switching Between Battery and External
Power
The notebook switches between external power and battery
power according to the availability of external power. To conserve
the charge in an inserted battery pack, the notebook runs on
external power whenever external power is available. External
power can be supplied from an electrical outlet through an
AC adapter or an optional DC cable.
If the notebook contains a charged battery pack and is running on
external power, the notebook switches to battery power only if the
AC adapter or DC cable is disconnected from the notebook.
The Power Meter icon in the system tray changes shape whenever
the power source changes between battery power and external
power.
Charging a Battery Pack
The battery pack charges whenever the notebook is connected to
external power through an AC adapter or an optional DC cable.
The battery pack charges whether the notebook is turned off or
turned on, but charges most quickly when the notebook is turned
off. When the notebook is turned on, charging times are longer
and vary with system activity.
The battery light displays charge status:
■On and amber: the battery pack is charging.
■On and green: the battery pack is fully charged.
■Flashing: the battery pack is malfunctioning and may need to
be replaced.

Monitoring the Charge in a Battery Pack
Obtaining Accurate Charge Information
To increase the accuracy of all battery charge displays:
■Allow the battery pack to discharge to less than 10 percent of
a full charge through normal use before charging it.
■Charge the battery pack fully. Even a new battery pack can
display charge information inaccurately if it has not been
fully charged.
■If a battery pack has not been used for one month or more, the
battery pack may need to be calibrated.
Displaying Charge Information
To display battery charge information on the screen, use the
operating system Power Meter feature. To access Power Meter
displays, select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance icon > Power Options icon > Power Meter tab.
Power Meter displays battery status in both percent and time:
■The percent indicates the amount of charge remaining in the
battery pack.
■The time indicates the approximate running time remaining
on the battery pack if the battery pack continues to provide
power at the current level. For example, the time remaining
will decrease if you start playing a DVD and will increase if
you stop playing a DVD.

Managing Low-Battery Conditions
The information in this section describes default alerts and
system responses.
Identifying Low-Battery Conditions
When the battery pack is the only power source for the notebook
and drops to 10 percent of a full charge, the notebook has reached
alow-battery condition. A text warning message appears on the
screen.
If a low-battery condition is not resolved and the amount of
charge remaining in the battery pack continues to drop, the
notebook eventually enters a critical low-battery condition. Then,
if the notebook is on or in Standby:
■If Hibernation is enabled, the system initiates Hibernation.
Unsaved work may be lost.
■If Hibernation is disabled, the notebook remains briefly in
Standby, then shuts down. The power/standby light turns off,
and the notebook cannot save system memory to the hard
drive.
Resolving Low-Battery Conditions
ÄCAUTION: If the notebook has reached a critical low-battery condition
and has begun to initiate Hibernation, do not restore power until
Hibernation is complete. When Hibernation is complete, the
power/standby light turns off.
If external power is available, connect the notebook to the
external power source.
If a charged battery pack is available, shut down the notebook or
initiate Hibernation. Insert a charged battery pack, then turn on
the notebook.
If no power source is available, save your work. Then initiate
Hibernation or shut down the notebook.

Calibrating a Battery Pack
When to Calibrate
Even if a battery pack is heavily used, it should not be necessary
to calibrate it more than once a month. It is not necessary to
calibrate a new battery pack before first use. Calibrate the battery
pack under the following conditions:
■When battery charge displays seem inaccurate.
■When you observe a significant change in battery run time.
■When the battery pack has not been used for one month
or more.
How to Calibrate
To calibrate a battery pack, you must fully charge, fully
discharge, then fully recharge the battery pack.
Charging the Battery Pack
Charge the battery pack while the notebook is in use. To charge
the battery pack:
1. Insert the battery pack into the notebook. For instructions, see

Drives and Drive Media
Understanding Drive and Drive Media
Terms
Hard drives are for the permanent storage of data files and of
software such as system files, applications, and drivers. A hard
drive is sometimes called a hard disk drive.
Diskette drives support diskettes, which are used to store or
transport data. The notebook can read or write to any diskette.
A diskette drive is sometimes called a floppy disk drive.
Optical drives include CD and DVD drives. Optical drives
support CDs and DVDs, often called discs, which are used to
store or transport data and to play music and movies. DVDs have
higher capacities than CDs. The notebook can read or write to
optical drives as described in the following table.
Adrive designation is a letter of the alphabet that the notebook
uses to identify the drive. To display the drive designation of all
the drives in the system, select Start > My Computer.
Adiskette or disc that can be inserted or removed from a drive is
referred to as a drive medium. For example, the term drive media
includes diskettes, CDs, and DVDs.

Caring for Drives and Drive Media
ÄCAUTION: To prevent damage to the notebook or a drive and loss
of work:
■Do not remove the internal hard drive except for repair or
replacement. For instructions, see the“Replacing the Internal Hard
Drive” section later in this chapter.
■Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components.
To prevent electrostatic damage to the notebook or a drive, follow
these 2 precautions: (1) Discharge yourself from static electricity
before handling a drive by touching a grounded metal object and
(2) Avoid touching the connectors on a drive. For more information
about preventing electrostatic damage, refer on the Documentation
Library CD to the Regulatory and Safety Notices guide,
“Electrostatic Discharge” section.
■Excessive force can damage drive connectors. When you insert a
drive, use only enough force to seat the drive.
■Handle a drive carefully. Do not drop it.
■Avoid exposing a hard drive or a diskette to devices with magnetic
fields. Products with magnetic fields include video and audio tape
erasure products, monitors, and speakers. Security devices with
magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security
wands. The airport security devices that check carry-on luggage,
usually while it is placed on a conveyor belt, use x-rays instead of
magnetism and will not damage a hard drive or a diskette.
■Do not spray a drive with cleaners.
■Avoid exposing a drive to liquids or temperature extremes.
■If you mail a drive, ship it in packaging that protects it from shock,
vibration, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Label the
package “FRAGILE.”
ÄCAUTION: To prevent damage to drive media:
■Do not open the metal shutter of a diskette or touch the disk within
the diskette case.
■Do not expose a diskette to a strong magnetic field, such as the
