Setup

Power and Charging

The laptop can be powered by a lithium battery or an AC power adapter. Upon receiving the laptop, please connect the AC power adapter to charge it.

• Lithium batteries have no "memory effect," so there is no need to wait until the battery is completely exhausted before charging.
• If you continue to use the laptop while charging, the charging time will be longer.
• For faster charging, pause laptop use or turn it off while charging.
• To extend battery life, charge when power is below 95% and avoid charging when power is above 95%.
• When battery power is low, a prompt message will appear. The battery will continue to work until it's too low and shuts down, potentially leading to unsaved data. Charge promptly and use the laptop normally after connecting the adapter.
• Always use the original power adapter to prevent damage.
• The battery is toxic and hazardous. Please recycle it according to environmental protection regulations. Do not dispose of the battery arbitrarily to avoid environmental pollution.
