192 GETTING STARTED2-1 Power SourcesYour notebook PC has two possible power sources: a primary Lithium ion battery or anAC adapter.2-1-1 CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTERSThe AC adapter provides power for operating your notebook PC and charging thebatteries.Connecting the AC Adapter1. Plug the DC output cable into the adapter power port of your notebook PC.2. Plug the AC adapter into an AC electrical outlet.The Lithium ion battery is not charged upon purchase. Initially, youwill need to connect the AC adapter to use your notebook PC.POINT
202. GETTING STARTED2-1-2 RECHARGING THE BATTERYThe Lithium ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge thebattery make sure the battery that needs to be charged is installed in your notebook PCand connect the AC adapter.There is no memory effect on the Lithium ion battery, therefore you do not need todischarge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantlylonger if your notebook PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to chargethe battery more quickly, put your notebook PC into Suspend mode, or turn it off whilethe adapter is charging the battery. (See 2-7 Power Management for more informationon Suspend mode and shutdown procedure)Low Battery StateWhen the battery is running low, a low battery notification message will appear. If youdo not respond to the low battery message, the battery will continue to discharge until itis too low to operate. When this happens, your notebook PC will go into Suspendmode. There is no guarantee that your data will be saved once the notebook reachesthis point.To protect your notebook PC from damage, use only the poweradapter that came with the notebook PC because each poweradapter has its own power output rating.Once your notebook PC goes into Dead Battery Suspend mode you will be unable toresume operation until you provide a source of power either from an adapter, or acharged battery. Once you have provided power, you will need to press the Suspend/Resume button to resume operation. In the Dead Battery Suspend mode, your data canbe maintained for some time, but if a power source is not provided promptly, the Powerindicator will stop flashing and go out, meaning that you have lost the data that was notstored. Once you provide power, you can continue to use your notebook PC while anadapter is charging the battery.Shorted BatteryThe Status Indicator panel uses a symbol inside the battery outline of the Battery Levelindicator to display the operating level available in that battery. If this display shows aShorted Battery, it means that the battery is damaged and must be replaced so it doesnot damage any other parts of your notebook PC.CAUTION
212. GETTING STARTED2-1-3 REPLACING THE BATTERYThis notebook PC features a rechargeable bridge battery that allows for fast warmswapping of batteries.
