Battery safety precautions
❖ If the battery pack produces an odor, overheats or changes color or
shape while it is being used or charged, turn off the computer’s power
immediately and disconnect the power cord from the power socket.
Carefully remove the battery pack from the computer.
❖ Do not try to disassemble a battery pack.
❖ Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. Overcharging will
shorten its life, and reverse charging could damage it.
❖ Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with another metal
object. Short-circuiting the battery can cause it to overheat and may
cause damage to the battery or the computer.
❖ Do not incinerate a spent battery, as this could cause it to explode and
release 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 that you can
purchase through toshiba.com.
❖ A reverse polarity condition should be avoided with all batteries. The
main battery is designed so that it cannot be installed to cause reverse
polarity.
❖ Charge the battery only in the computer or in a battery charger
designated as an approved option.
