Installing a secondary battery
Your notebook’s right-side 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 DVD, recordable CD, 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 264).
5 Turn your notebook over so that the bottom is facing up.
Warning Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with a Gateway 600YG2 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.
