Instructions for using LEARNING.EXE (Battery learning program for Solo 2550)
For Battery Learning software version 3.70 or later

IMPORTANT

You should be aware that the process of running the Battery learning software
may take as long as 16 hours to complete and the process should not be interrupted
otherwise it will need to be repeated from the beginning (your battery will never be
damaged by this software). Run the test overnight and wait until it says completed
before restarting your computer again.

WARNING

Don't unplug either the AC adapter or battery during the battery learning process.
The process can be stopped if required by pressing Ctrl + C key simultaneously
during the process. The process will have to be fully repeated later.

STEPS TO TAKE

1. Plug battery to main battery slot. 
2. Plug the AC adapter into the notebook. Ensure power is on. This can be verified by the
   system LED on the right being yellow or green.
3. From the Windows 95 startbar choose Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Battery Learning.
4. Follow the directions.

   If there is no icon setup to run the Battery Learning program then use the procedures
   at the end of this document.

PROCESS

1. First the program checks the battery's voltage and corrects this if necessary
   (Never interupt this process - it may take about one minute).
2. Then the learning program charges main battery.
2. After the main battery is fully charged the program issues a command to 
   discharge the main battery.
3. The main battery supplies power to system until it is fully discharged. 
4. After 10 minutes, the program reads the full capacity to verify if the learning
   was successful.
5. The program displays a successful completion message after the battery has
   been charged to a certain level. It will then continue to fully charge the battery but the
   process can be stopped at this stage.
6. If you use the Learning program for Solo 9100 or 9150 with two batteries installed, the program 
   will repeat the process on the secondary battery after the first battery learning process
   is completed.
7. To start re-using your notebook simply exit the program using Ctrl + C
   and the computer will restart. If it does not restart switch the computer off.

Windows 95 or Windows 98

1. Restart the computer and press F8 when the "Starting Windows 95" or
   "Starting Windows 98" message appears.
2. Choose the option "Safe mode command prompt only"
3. Type in "A:" (or whatever drive you have inserted the disk into)
4. Type in "LEARNING" and press enter
5. Follow the directions.
   
Windows NT

1. Restart the computer with the Battery Learning diskette in the floppy drive.
