Power and Power-Up Modes
■
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby
Mode. Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be
lost. When the computer is powered off in Standby Mode, and the AC
adaptor is not connected, the battery pack supplies power to maintain
data and programs in memory. If the battery pack is completely
discharged, Standby Mode will not function and the computer loses all
data in memory.
To ensure that the battery pack maintains its maximum capacity, operate
the computer on battery power at least once a month until the battery pack
is fully discharged. Refer to
procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power through
an AC adaptor for an extended period, more than a month, the battery may
fail to retain a charge. It may not function efficiently over the expected life of
the battery and the Battery indicator may not indicate a low-battery
condition.
