E N G L S H I Using the PC 65 TIP When the PC is not used for an extended period of time, refer to the following:
Check the battery charge level on a regular basis and keep it at 50%. This allows you to extend the battery life. If the battery is left fully charged for an extended period of time, the battery capacity and battery running time may be reduced. If the battery is left fully discharged for an extended period of time, it may become over-discharged and cannot be charged again. For more efficient use of the battery, read the following carefully. Natural discharge: The battery runs low naturally even if it is kept unused. Periodical full (dis)charge: Repeated recharge in midway shortens the running time gradually. To lengthen the span, charge and discharge the battery to the fullest once or twice. For optimal use, execute the full charge/discharge every 30 to 60 days. Also, it is recommended to fully recharge the battery after it has run out. The battery capacity may change due to chemical reactions during charge and discharge. The system checks the charge status of LG batteries frequently, and then calculates and indicates the actual battery duration on the current system setup. The battery is wearable goods and thus the life span may become shorter with use. The battery running time may also become shorter accordingly. When the battery is fully charged, the machine stops recharging. It resumes recharging when the battery charge rate drops below 95%. This feature secures the safe and efficient use of the battery. When the temperature of the battery drops below 10 C, it is charged in a low current to protect the battery cells. In this case, charging time may stretch to 32 hours or longer. If you use the system at a low temperature, refer to the following:
The battery capacity may be reduced depending on the chemical characteristics of the battery and the system may not be turned on after it freezes or it is turned off. If the system freezes or if it is not turned on, connect the AC adapter to the system and charge the battery fully before use. If there is any error in the indication of the battery capacity, charge and discharge the battery two or three times at room temperature to return to the normal operation. 66 Using the PC Operation Status Lamps E N G L S H I 1 Power Lamp:
