Capable PC Use
Do not leave the powered-on computer in a space without enough ventilation (i.e. bags) for an extended or
repeated time.
The battery may overheat and cause a fire.
Handle the computer with care to prevent a data loss.
Since the hard disk is sensitive to shocks, please make a back-up file of important data all the time.
The manufacturer will not be responsible for any hard-disk data loss caused by your mistake.
Hard disk damage and data loss may occur when:
External shocks are inflicted on the machine while disassembling or installing it.
When the computer is abruptly reset (rebooted) due to power failure, the hard disk may get damaged.
The computer is infected with a virus, tainting the data irrecoverably.
Abrupt turning-off of the computer can damage the computer.
Moving, shaking or pounding the computer while the hard disk is running, and thus causing file damage or
bad sectors.
It is recommended to back up the data to minimize damage caused by hard disk damage.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any data loss.

Using the system
3-1. Running on Battery
Notebook PC runs on AC power or battery. This section describes the procedure that the user should take initially for a new
system. The provided AC adapter can be used on voltage between 100V and 240V.
Charge the new battery with the AC adapter before use.
Refer to
[
Charging Battery with AC Adapter
]
in User's Guide.
1.
Turn the machine over to see the battery pack chamber and equip the pack.
-
Insert the battery pack into the chamber as shown in the following figure and push it in the direction of the arrow until you hear a clicking
sound.
2.
Open the machine and turn the power on.
3.
Check the battery state.
Using the system
35
-
When the battery status lamp is blinking, charge it fully with the AC adapter before using it.
4.
To remove the battery pack, push the Lock button to the direction of Unlock and lift the battery pack in the direction of the
arrow.
Use batteries certified and acknowledged by LG Electronic Inc.
■
Uncertified batteries may explode.
■
Ensure the power is off before changing the battery pack.
Keep the battery pack removed when the machine is not in use.
■
Otherwise, a fire and product damage may result.
36
Using the system
For more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully.
■Natural discharge: The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused.
■Periodical full (dis)charge: Repeated recharge in midway shortens the running time gradually.
To lengthen the span, charge and discharge the battery to the fullest once or twice. For optimal
use, execute the full charge/discharge every 30 to 60 days. Still better, recharge the battery after
it has run out.
For a safe and efficient use of battery, follow the below directions.
■Do not short-circuit the battery.
■Keep the battery away from heat.
■Keep the battery at room temperature (between 0 ~ 60 ).
■Do not disassemble the battery pack nor throw it in water or fire.
■Keep the battery out of reach of children.
The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge.
■The system checks the charge status of LG batteries frequently, and then calculates and indicates
the actual battery duration on the current system setup.
■The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may be getting shorter as used. The battery
running time may also become shorter accordingly.
■When the battery is fully charged the machine stops recharging, and it resumes recharging when
the battery charge rate drops below 95%.
■The Battery Status lamp may be turned off even when the battery is not fully charged, and it may
blink in orange or green even when the battery is fully charged. This happens because of
measures to maintain the battery life and the time gap between charge state recognition and
charge state update. You don't need to worry about this because it returns to normal in a while.
