Q1105 SERIES USER'S MANUAL 2. 2 Recharging the Battery The Lithium-Ion battery is recharged internally using the AC adapter. To recharge the battery, make sure the battery is installed and the computer is connected to the AC adapter. There is no "memory effect" in Lithium-Ion batteries; therefore you do not need to discharge the battery completely before recharging. The charge times will be significantly longer if your notebook PC is in use while the battery is charging. If you want to charge the battery more quickly, put your computer into Suspend mode or turn it off while the adapter is charging the battery. Low Battery State When the battery charge is low, a notification message appears. If you do not respond to the low battery message, the battery continues to discharge until it is too low to operate. [. . . ] The hard drive of the Q1105 has a hidden partition that contains a full backup image of the operating system that can be used to recover the system in the event that something happens to the operating system. If the hard drive is removed or the partition deleted, the recover options will no longer be available and a recovery service will be needed. Launch System Recovery The system recover feature is part of the netbook installation and it ships preset from the factory. The options menu allows you to launch the Windows recovery tool to reinstall the operating system to factory defaults. [. . . ]
