Taking care of your battery

❖
If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.
❖
If you will not be using the system for an extended
period, more than one month, remove the battery pack.
❖
Disconnect the AC adaptor when the battery is fully
charged. Overcharging makes the battery hot and
shortens its life.
❖
If you are not going to use the computer for more than
eight hours, disconnect the AC adaptor.
❖
Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct
sunlight.
Disposing of used batteries
When a battery pack nears the end of its life, its ability to
hold a charge will decrease. When the battery pack needs to
be replaced, the main battery light flashes amber shortly after
you have fully recharged the battery.
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
Connect the AC adaptor to the computer and connect
the power cord/cable to a power outlet. The DC-IN or
AC power-light should glow blue, and the battery
light should glow amber to indicate that the battery
pack is being charged. If the DC-IN or AC power-
light indicator does not glow, power is not being
supplied. Check the connections for the AC adaptor
and power cord/cable.
Charge the battery pack until the battery light glows
blue.
Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by throwing
it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating apparatus (e.g.,
microwave oven). Heat can cause a battery pack to explode and/or
release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause serious injury.
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all
applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as
cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid a
possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so could
possibly result in serious injury.
