Recalibrating the battery(ies) Recalibrating the battery(ies) Important Do not interrupt the battery recalibration process. If recalibration is interrupted, you must start the process over again. Important If, after completing this procedure, the battery charge indicator still does not show an accurate charge, contact Gateway Customer Care at the location shown on the Customer Care label. For more information, see "Gateway contact information" on page 3 If your notebook unexpectedly goes into Standby mode while you are using it but the battery charge is not low, you may need to recalibrate your battery(ies).

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. 6 Select Yes, then press ENTER. The battery recalibration process begins and a screen opens showing you the progress. The entire process will take several hours. When the recalibration has finished, the message "Press [Esc] key to exit" appears. 7 Press ESC. The battery charge indicator now displays an accurate battery charge. 53
