2. Connect one end of the AC power cable to the AC adapter. Connect the other end
of the AC power cable to a 100- to 240-volt, AC wall outlet.
Battery Power
It is highly recommended to use battery power only when an AC outlet is unavailable. A
fully charged battery pack lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours depending on the model.
A second battery pack installed in the diskette drive slot doubles operation time. The actual
amount of battery time depends on the use of power-saving features, the application, op-
tions installed, and the environment.
Refer to “Battery Status” earlier in this section for information on learning how much
power is available in the current battery.
Recharging the Battery Pack
There are two ways to recharge the main battery pack, Quick Charge and Normal Charge.
A Quick Charge is performed when the system is off or in Suspend mode with the AC
adapter connected. A Normal Charge is performed when the AC adapter is connected and
the system is on. When the LCD indicator panel displays one blinking block, it is time to re-
charge the battery.
