Multi Media Functions/Equipment 39 Matrix 3 Plus (Windows 2000) - English.fm Page 40 Thursday, April 18, 2002 10:35 AM Using the Battery Your computer uses a smart rechargeable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery pack for power when the AC adapter is not attached to an electrical outlet. The smart battery gives a accurate measurement of the current battery capacity which helps extend operating time by enabling effective power management in operating systems that take advantage of the accurate information supplied by the battery. Charging the Battery Your computer’s battery starts charging automatically when you connect the power to the computer and to an electrical outlet. If the computer is off, the battery charges faster than if the computer’s power is on. Approximate charging times for the Li-Ion battery are • 3 hours with the computer off. • 7 hours with the computer on. While the battery is charging normally, the battery charge light on the computer is red. When the battery is fully charged, the light changes to green. When you use a new battery pack for the first time or use a battery after a long period of storage, the initial battery life is shorter than normal. Normal battery life resumes after a few discharge-recharge cycles. Follow these rules for charging your battery: • A battery normally discharges power when not used for long periods of time. Be sure to recharge the battery every two months when it is not in use. • Make it a practice to discharge your battery fully before recharging the battery. This can help extend the life of the battery. • Do not attempt to charge the battery in temperatures of under 5oC or over 35oC All batteries eventually wear out and lose the ability to hold a charge. You may need to replace your battery pack after a year of average usage. 40 Users Manual Matrix 3 Plus (Windows 2000) - English.fm Page 41 Thursday, April 18, 2002 10:35 AM Safely Using the Battery Follow these guidelines to safely use the battery: • Turn off your computer and unplug it if you accidentally: – Expose the equipment to liquid. – Drop, jar, or damage the computer. • Use only approved battery chargers. • Do not disassemble the battery, heat it above 100°C, or burn it. The battery used in this computer may cause a fire or chemical burn if mistreated. • Your computer's rechargeable battery may be considered hazardous waste. If you replace your battery with a new one: – Keep the old battery out of the reach of children. – Dispose of the old battery promptly. – Make sure that you follow all local requirements when you dispose of the old battery. Removing the Battery Your computer comes with the battery pack inserted in the computer. To remove the battery from the computer: 1. Turn the computer’s power off. 2. Close the LCD panel, and turn the computer over so that the bottom of the unit faces up. 3. Slide the battery compartment cover straight up and off the computer. 4.
