Setting Up the Computer
Before you set up the computer for the first time, ensure that
■
The computer is using AC power.
■
The computer is not docked in a docking station.
Charging the Battery Pack for the First Time
The battery pack begins to charge when the computer is connected
to external power.
Although a new battery pack can be used to power the computer
after receiving a partial charge, Compaq recommends that a new
battery pack be allowed to fully charge before the computer is
disconnected from external power or before the battery pack is
removed from the computer.
IMPORTANT
:
The battery charge level lights on a new battery pack
accurately display the percent of a full charge remaining in the
battery pack only after the battery has been fully charged.
A new battery pack fully charges in approximately
■
2.5 hours when the computer is connected to external power
and not being used.
■
4 hours when the computer is connected to external power and
being used.
