The notebook battery can only be charged, wh en the ambient temperature
is between 5°C and max. 35°C.
You can charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adapter
(see "
Mains adapter connecting", Page 16).
You can increase the life of your battery by allowing it to fully discharge before recharging it again.
To do this, leave your notebook turned on while operated b y the battery. Once th e battery is running
low, you will hear a warning alarm. If you do not connect the mains adapter within five minutes of
the wa rning alarm described above sounding, your notebook will automatically switch off.

Battery storage
BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingc apac ity,battery
Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +30°C. The lower the temperature at which
the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two months),
the b attery charge level should be approx. 30 % . To prevent exh aust ive
discharge which would permanently damage the battery, check the level
of charge of the ba ttery at regular intervals.
To be able to m ake use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
notebook. Never store the batteries in the device.
