Recharging the batteries Recharging the batteries The batteries recharge while they are installed and your convertible notebook is connected to AC power. While the batteries recharge, the battery charge indicator turns on and the power cord icon in the taskbar has a lightning bolt . Important If the power cord or battery icon does not appear on the taskbar, tap or click the show hidden icons button. If the icon still does not appear, make sure that Always show icon on the taskbar is checked on the Advance tab in the Power Options Properties dialog box. For more information, see "Changing notebook power settings" in Using Your Computer which has been included on your hard drive.

Recalibrating the batteries If your convertible notebook unexpectedly goes into Standby mode while you are using it but the battery charge is not low, you may need to recalibrate your main and optional multibay battery.

The BIOS Setup utility opens. 3 Open the Advanced menu. 4 Highlight Battery Auto Learning, then select Enabled by pressing the spacebar. 5 Open the Exit menu, then highlight Exit Saving Changes and press ENTER. www.gateway.com 75
