CAUTION: After the computer has been fully recharged, do not immediately
disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter to charge it again. Doing so may
damage the battery.
Initializing the Battery Pack
You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or
when the actual operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected.
Initializing is the process of fully charging, discharging, and then charging.
It can take several hours.
The G-Manager program provides a tool called “Battery Recalibration” for
the purpose. (See “G-Manager” in Chapter 6.)
Checking the Battery Level
NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating
time can be different from the estimated time, depending on how you are
using the computer.
The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are
using the computer. When your applications often access peripherals, you
will experience a shorter operating time.
You can find the battery icon on the Windows taskbar (lower-right corner).
The icon shows the approximate battery level.
For models having more than one battery pack, the battery packs are
discharged in parallel.
Battery Low Signals and Actions
The battery icon changes appearance to display the current state of the
