      In case your chosen distribution does not allow OEM installation, the username and password will be slimbook, also if root user is enabled or you requested disk encryption, your password is slimbook as well, change it to a strong one.

                      BATTERY

                      STATUS INDICATOR  CHARGE STATUS
                      White solid LED Battery charging
                      White blinking LED Low battery
                      LED off Fully charged

                      BATTERY RECOMMENDATIONS

                      Set limits on charge cycles:
                      Try not to discharge directly from 100 to 0%, try to use the battery in an intermediate range between both extremes as it suffers less. Try to stay above 20%.

                      It is also recommended to keep your laptop connected only when it is charging, avoid leaving it always connected.

                      Do not interrupt charging cycles:
                      Try not to be plugging and unplugging the adapter every few minutes.
                      Once the charging cycle is established, it is better not to interrupt it, thus, battery degradation will be reduced.
