Getting Started Charging the main and secondary batteries 43 3 Connect the power cable to a live electrical outlet. The AC power and battery lights glow. CAUTION: Using the wrong AC adapter could damage your computer. Toshiba assumes no liability for any damage in such cases. Never pull directly on the power cable to unplug it. Hold the power plug when removing the cable from the outlet. Charging the main and secondary batteries To charge the main battery, plug the computer into a live wall outlet. It takes several hours to charge the battery with the computer off. It takes much longer to charge the battery while the computer is on. Once the main battery is charged, the secondary battery, if inserted into the Modular Bay, will charge. TECHNICAL NOTE: The battery does not charge while the computer is consuming full power. To charge the secondary battery, fit it in the Modular Bay and connect the computer to an AC power source. TECHNICAL NOTE: When batteries are being charged, the main battery is charged first. After the main battery is fully charged, the secondary battery in the Modular Bay is charged. When the batteries discharge, the secondary battery in the Modular Bay will discharge first, then the main battery. For more information on battery use, see "Running the computer on battery power" on page 88.
