Charging, caring for and maintaining the battery
BatteryBattery
The notebook battery can only be charged, when the ambient temperature
is between 5°C and max. 35°C.
You ca n charge the battery by connecting the notebook to the mains adap ter

you place the mouse pointer on the battery symbol, the system displays the battery status.
Battery storage
BatteryBatterySelf-discharge,batteryChargingcapacity,battery
Keep the battery pack between 0°C and +3 0°C. The lower th e temperature at which
the batteries are stored, the lower the rate of self-discharge.
If you will be storing batteries for a longer period (longer than two mon ths),
the battery charge level should be appro x. 30 %. To prevent exhaustive
discharge which would pe rmanen tly damage the battery, check the level
of charge of the battery at regular intervals.
To be able to make use of the optimal charging capacity of the batteries, the battery
should be completely discharged and then fully recharged.
If you do not use the batteries for long periods, remove them from the
notebook. N ever store the batteries in the device.
