Running the Notebook on Battery
To run the notebook on its battery, disconnect the AC adapter. The battery level indicator will show the remaining power. To recharge, connect the AC adapter. The battery charges when the level is 89% or less. It cannot be recharged when it is 90% or more charged.
Power Management
The notebook offers power-saving features, including Suspend mode. Pressing the Power/Suspend/Resume button briefly puts the notebook into Suspend mode, saving your work. Pressing it again, or ensuring an adequate power source, resumes operation. The Power indicator shows operational status: solid for active, flashing for suspend, and off for powered off.
Power On/Off
To power on, connect the AC adapter or ensure a charged battery and press the Power/Suspend/Resume button. To power off, always use the Windows shutdown procedure to prevent data loss or corruption. Check that disk drive indicators are off before powering down.
