[. . . ] The power supply indicators of the Notebook (see page 20) provide details on the operating state. The battery is also being charged when you are working on your Notebook with the power adapter. The power adapter is still live if the Notebook is not connected with it. You should therefore unplug the power adapter from the outlet if it is not connected to the Notebook. POWER SUPPLY 27 WARNING!Use only the power adapter and power cord supplied with your Notebook. BATTERY OPERATION In order to extend the life and power of your battery, and to guarantee reliable operation, it is essential that the safety instructions on page 9 are followed. INSERTING THE BATTERY Slide the battery, contacts first, into the battery compartment. REMOVING THE BATTERY WARNING!Do not remove the battery while the Notebook is running on battery power. You increase the possibility of losing data. 28 POWER SUPPLY CHARGING THE BATTERY The battery is charged via the power adapter. If the power adapter is connected, it charges the battery automatically, whether the Notebook is turned on or not. When the Notebook is switched off, full charging takes a few hours. If the Notebook is switched on, the charging process takes a significantly shorter time. However, it is recommended that from time to time you discharge the battery completely and recharge it afterwards with the Notebook switched off. You can discharge the battery without losing data, if you turn your notebook on without using any application and no power adapter. As soon as the battery is empty your notebook will enter the hibernate mode. We recommend doing this procedure every time you think the battery power is losing efficiency. BATTERY POWER A fully charged Li-Ion battery will provide power for around 2 hours of operation. However, the battery life will vary according to how the power saving functions are set, the way you work, the size of the main memory and the display type. When working in Windows an audible warning signal will be given off as soon as the battery level drops below a set minimum value. When this happens, the processing power is reduced in order to save power. NOTE: Battery warning signals and "LowBattery" mode will be heard immediately when the power pack is first connected. POWER SUPPLY 29 CHECKING THE BATTERY LEVEL In order to check the current level of the battery, move the cursor over the power symbol in the taskbar. When in battery mode, a battery symbol is displayed and when the power adapter is in use a power connector is displayed. If the battery is being charged the power connector has a lightning symbol superimposed over it. Further information on power settings can be obtained by double clicking on the symbol. NOTE: If you ignore the warning signal when the battery level is low, your Notebook goes into suspend mode.
