Guidelines for safe battery usage

This notebook uses a Lithium-ion battery. Do not use it in a humid, wet or

corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat

source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave

oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over

60°C (140°F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the battery to leak

acid, become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. Do not

pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into

contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical

attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the

battery, charging will not occur at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C

(104°F).

The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or three

complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and

discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the

operation time becomes noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use

only the approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with the approved

chargers designated for this device.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery

that is damaged. Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can

occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen causes direct connection

of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like

metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example, when you carry a

spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may

damage the battery or the connecting object.

The capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced if the battery is left in

hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter. Always try to

keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or

cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.

Battery performance is especially limited in temperatures well below freezing.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also

explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please

recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.

Wireless devices may be susceptible to interference from the battery, which

could affect performance.

Replacing the battery pack

The notebook uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery with the same type as

that which came bundled with your product. Use of another battery may

present a risk of fire or explosion.

your PC depends on the model purchased.

Note:

Note:Note: When using the touchpad, keep it — and your fingers — dry

and clean. The touchpad is sensitive to finger movement; hence,

the lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping harder will

not increase the touchpad's responsiveness.

Note:

Note:Note: By default, vertical and horizontal scrolling is enabled on

your touchpad. It can be disabled under Mouse settings in

Windows Control Panel.

Battery pack

The computer uses a battery pack that gives you long use between

charges.

Battery pack characteristics

The battery pack has the following characteristics:

• Employs current battery technology standards.

• Delivers a battery-low warning.

The battery is recharged whenever you connect the computer to the

AC adapter. Your computer supports charge-in-use, enabling you to

recharge the battery while you continue to operate the computer.

However, recharging with the computer turned off results in a

significantly faster charge time.

The battery will come in handy when you travel or during a power

failure. It is advisable to have an extra fully charged battery pack

available as backup. Contact your dealer for details on ordering a spare

battery pack.

Maximizing the battery's life

Like all other batteries, your computer's battery will degrade over

time. This means that the battery's performance will diminish with

time and use. To maximize your battery's life, you are advised to

adhere to the recommendations set out below.

Conditioning a new battery pack

Before you use a battery pack for the first time, there is a

"conditioning" process that you should follow:

1 Insert the new battery without turning the computer on.

2 Connect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery.

3 Disconnect the AC adapter.

4 Turn on the computer and operate using battery power.

5 Fully deplete the battery until the battery-low warning appears.

6 Reconnect the AC adapter and fully charge the battery again.

English

Follow these steps again until the battery has been charged and

discharged three times.

Use this conditioning process for all new batteries, or if a battery hasn't

been used for a long time. If the computer is to be stored for more

than two weeks, you are advised to remove the battery pack from the

unit.

Warning: Do not expose battery

Warning: Do not expose battery Warning: Do not expose battery packs to temperatures below 0°C

affect the battery pack.

affect the battery pack.affect the battery pack.

By following the battery conditioning process you condition your

battery to accept the maximum possible charge. Failure to follow this

procedure will prevent you from obtaining the maximum battery

charge, and will also shorten the effective lifespan of the battery.

In addition, the useful lifespan of the battery is adversely affected by

the following usage patterns:

• Using the computer on constant AC power with the battery

inserted. If you want to use constant AC power, you are advised to

remove the battery pack after it is fully charged.

• Not discharging and recharging the battery to its extremes, as

described above.

• Frequent use; the more you use the battery, the faster it will reach

the end of its effective life. A standard computer battery has a life

span of about 300 charges.

Installing and removing the battery pack

Important!

Important! Important! Before removing the battery from the unit, connect

the AC adapter if you want to continue using your computer.

Otherwise, turn off the computer first.

To install a battery pack:

1 Align the battery with the open battery bay; make sure that the

end with the contacts will enter first, and that the top surface of

the battery is facing up.

2 Slide the battery into the battery bay and gently push until the

battery locks in place.

English

To remove a battery pack:

1 Slide the battery release latch to release the battery.

2 Pull the battery from the battery bay.

Charging the battery

To charge the battery, first make sure that it is correctly installed in the

battery bay. Plug the AC adapter into the computer, and connect to a

mains power outlet. You can continue to operate your computer on AC

power while your battery is charging. However, charging the battery

with the computer turned off results in a significantly faster charge

time.

Note

NoteNote: You are advised to charge the battery before retiring for

the day. Charging the battery overnight before traveling enables

you to start the next day with a fully charged battery.

Checking the battery level

The Windows power meter indicates the current battery level. Rest the

cursor over the battery/power icon on the taskbar to see the battery's

present charge level.

Optimising battery life

Optimizing battery life helps you get the most out of battery

operation, prolonging the charge/recharge cycle and improving

recharging efficiency. You are advised to follow the suggestions set

out below:

• Purchase an extra battery pack.

• Use AC power whenever possible, reserving battery for on-the-go

use.

• Eject a PC Card if it is not being used, as it will continue to draw

power (for selected model).

• Store the battery pack in a cool, dry place. The recommended

temperature is 10°C (50°F) to 30°C (86°F). Higher temperatures

cause the battery to self-discharge faster.

• Excessive recharging decreases the battery life.

• Look after your AC adapter and battery.

English

meter.

•AC adapter and power cord

•The printed Quick Guide

English

Special considerations

Follow these guidelines to protect your computer while traveling to and

from work:

•Minimize the effects of temperature changes by keeping the computer

with you.

•If you need to stop for an extended period of time and cannot carry the

computer with you, leave the computer in the trunk of the car to avoid

exposing the computer to excessive heat.

•Changes in temperature and humidity can cause condensation. Allow the

computer to return to room temperature, and inspect the screen for

condensation before turning on the computer. If the temperature change

is greater than 10 °C (18 °F), allow the computer to come to room

temperature slowly. If possible, leave the computer for 30 minutes in an

environment with a temperature between outside and room temperature.

Setting up a home office

If you frequently work on your computer at home, you may want to purchase a

second AC adapter for use at home. With a second AC adapter, you can avoid

carrying the extra weight to and from home.

If you use your computer at home for significant periods of time, you might also

want to add an external keyboard, monitor or mouse.

Traveling with the computer

When you are moving within a larger distance, for instance, from your office

building to a client's office building or traveling locally.

Preparing the computer

Prepare the computer as if you were taking it home. Make sure that the battery

in the computer is charged. Airport security may require you to turn on your

computer when carrying it into the gate area.

Special considerations

In addition to the guidelines for taking the computer home, follow these

guidelines to protect your computer while traveling:

•Always take the computer as carry-on luggage.

•If possible, have the computer inspected by hand. Airport security X-ray

machines are safe, but do not put the computer through a metal detector.

•Avoid exposing floppy disks to hand-held metal detectors.

Traveling internationally with the computer

When you are moving from country to country.

Preparing the computer

Prepare the computer as you would normally prepare it for traveling.

What to bring with you

Bring the following items with you:

•AC adapter

•Power cords that are appropriate for the country to which you

are traveling

•Spare, fully-charged battery packs

•Additional printer driver files if you plan to use another printer

•Proof of purchase, in case you need to show it to customs officials

•International Travelers Warranty passport

Special considerations

Follow the same special considerations as

when traveling with

the computer. In

addition, these tips are useful when traveling internationally:

•When traveling in another country, check that the local AC voltage and the

AC adapter power cord specifications are compatible. If not, purchase a

power cord that is compatible with the local AC voltage. Do not use

converter kits sold for appliances to power the computer.

•If you are using the modem, check if the modem and connector is

compatible with the telecommunications system of the country you are

traveling in.
