Installing a secondary battery
Your notebook’s modular bay accepts a secondary battery. The secondary
battery charges when the notebook is connected to AC power.
To install a secondary battery:
1 If you are removing a CD, CD-RW, DVD, combination DVD/CD-RW or
diskette drive, make sure that the drive is empty.
2 Make sure that your notebook is off (not in Standby or Hibernate mode).
3 Close the LCD panel.
4 Disconnect your notebook from the optional port replicator (see
“Disconnecting from the port replicator” on page 260).
5 Turn your notebook over so that the bottom is facing up.
6 Slide and hold the bay module latch closest to the back of the notebook.
Warning Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with a Gateway 450SX4 secondary battery.
Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
The battery used in this device may present a fire or
chemical burn hazard if mishandled. Do not disassemble,
heat above 212°F (100°C), or incinerate. Dispose of used
battery promptly. Keep away from children.
