!
Caution: Never dispose of exhausted batteries
in a fire. Recycle if possible.
The battery should be handled carefully to
ensure maximum life. In particular:
Do not drop the battery or subject it to
shocks.
Do not expose the battery to direct sunlight,
moisture, chemicals, or temperature
extremes.
Do not short the battery leads or insert the
battery upside down.
Charge the battery after several days of
disuse to keep it fully charged. If your
computer is idle for an extended period of
time, charge the battery every 3 months.
Never use the battery to power other
products.
The battery pack has thermal fuses to
prevent unsafe computer operation. The
computer may not operate on battery power
after storage in a very warm place until the
thermal fuses cool.
Keep the Duracell (NiMH) battery properly
conditioned to maintain a maximum charge
by following the conditioning instructions in
this chapter.
