It should not be necessary to calibrate any battery pack, even if it is heavily used, more than once a month. It is not necessary to calibrate a new battery pack before first use.
Battery PacksHardware Guide 3–17DRAFT - Revised: 10/28/02Compaq CONFIDENTIAL—For Internal Use Only11/13/02 File: SP-CH3-Battery.fmHow to CalibrateCalibration requires 3 steps:1. Fully charge the battery pack.2. Fully discharge the battery pack.3. Fully recharge the battery pack.Charging the Battery PackYou can charge the battery pack while the notebook is on or off, but the battery pack charges faster while the notebook is off.Fully charge the battery pack according to the “Charging a Battery Pack” section earlier in this chapter. Be sure the battery light turns off, signaling that the battery is fully charged.Discharging the Battery PackThe notebook must remain on while the battery pack is being discharged. The battery pack discharges whether you are using the notebook, but discharges faster while the notebook is in use.If you plan to leave the notebook unattended during the discharge, save your work before beginning the discharge procedure. If you use the notebook occasionally during the discharge procedure and have set energy-saving timeouts, expect the following performance from your system during the discharge process:■The monitor will not turn off automatically.■Hard drive speed will not decrease automatically while the notebook is idle.■System-initiated Standby will not occur.■System-initiated Hibernation will not occur until the battery has discharged to a critical low-battery condition.

However, any program that was using the infrared transmission when Standby was initiated may not continue at the point it was stopped. For example, if a program was printing when Standby was initiated, the program resumes transmission after the notebook resumes, but the print job may not resume.Using Wireless LANThe notebook provides internal wireless LAN supported through the mini PCI board. For more information on using your internal wireless LAN, refer on this CD to the Software Guide, “Wireless LAN Software” chapter or to the wireless mini PCI card documentation that ships with the notebook.
