Charging the Battery 

To charge the battery, plug the AC adaptor into the netbook and an electrical 

outlet. Whenever possible, use the AC adaptor to keep the netbook connected 

to a power source. 

For a totally discharged battery, it will take approximately two hours to charge 

to 90% capacity, and approximately three hours to 100% while the netbook is 

powered off. It will take about five hours to charge the battery to 100% capacity 

while the netbook is powered on. 

If the system runs at heavy loads or in a high temperature environment, the 

battery may not be fully charged. You need to continue to charge it with the AC 

adaptor plugged in until the charging LED turns green. 

• Low battery warning: When the battery power is reduced to 10 percent, 

the battery status LED blinks orange and the system beeps every 16 seconds. 

• Very low battery warning: When the battery power is reduced to five 

percent, the battery status LED blinks orange and the system beeps every 4 

seconds.

A

Warning

Always use the AC adapter and power cord included with this package. Using a 

replacement may result in damage to your netbook.

Note

The system will not charge the battery when the temperature exceeds 40 

degrees Celsius.
