Power and Power-up Modes Note 1. Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable the Wake-up on LAN function. 2. To ensure the battery pack maintains maximum capacity, operate the computer on battery power once a week until the battery pack is fully discharged. Refer to the section Extending battery life in this chapter for procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power for an extended period, more than a month, the battery might fail to retain a charge. It might not function efficiently over the expected life of the battery pack and Battery indicator might not indicate a low-battery condition. 3. After the battery pack is charged, avoid leaving the AC adapter connected and the computer turned off for more than a few hours at a time. Continuing to charge a fully-charged battery pack can damage the battery. Charging the batteries When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator flashes orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the computer enables hibernation mode (so you don't lose data) and automatically turns off. You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged. Procedures To recharge a battery pack while it is installed in the computer, connect the AC adapter to the DC IN socket and plug the other end into a working outlet. The Battery indicator glows orange when the battery is being charged. Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or the optional TOSHIBA Batteries charger to charge the battery pack. Never attempt to charge the battery pack with any other charger. Time The following table shows the approximate time required to fully charge a discharged battery.
