Mobile Computing
Running the computer on battery power
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.1.2
The RTC battery powers the RTC memory, which stores your
system configuration settings and the current time and date
for up to a month while the computer is turned off.
Using additional batteries
If you spend a lot of time traveling and need to work for
many hours without an AC power source, you may want to
carry additional charged batteries with you. You can then
replace a discharged battery and continue working.
Battery safety precautions
❖ Never try to disassemble a battery.
❖ Never overcharge or reverse charge a battery.
Overcharging will shorten its life and reverse charging
could destroy it, causing the release of toxic fumes.
❖ Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with
another metal object. Short-circuiting the battery will
cause it to overheat and may cause permanent damage to
the battery or the computer.
❖ Never incinerate a spent battery as this will cause it to
explode, releasing toxic materials.
❖ If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately.
Use protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
To replace the main battery, use an identical battery, which
you can purchase from Toshiba’s Web site at
toshibaaccessories.com.
