The AC Adapter is for indoor use only. Plug the AC power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. Battery Power Your computer can accommodate from one to three battery packs. The three battery power sources are: 1. Modular battery pack in the DualBay-accepts lithium lon (Li-lon) battery packs. 2. Handle battery pack-accepts nickel metal hydride (NiMH) or lithium ion battery packs. 3. Modular battery pack in the Mobile CD Expansion Unit- accepts lithium ion battery packs. ! WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury or damage to the battery pack, do not crush, puncture, or incinerate the battery pack or short the metal contacts. In addition, do not attempt to open or service the battery pack. NOTE: Battery life varies depending on the battery type, applications in use, options connected, power conservation level enabled, operating and storage temperatures, and whether the computer components are turned on or off. Battery Charging/Discharging The battery packs take several hours to charge fully when the computer is turned off and longer with the computer turned on. All battery packs in the computer and MCD receive a charge when the system is connected to AC power. When charging occurs, the DualBay battery charges first, followed by the handle battery, and finally the MCD battery. The computer consumes power from the MCD battery and the handle battery before consuming power from the DualBay battery. NOTE: Up to two battery packs at a time can be charged in the optional External Battery Charger. Managing Power 5-9
