Real Time Clock battery
The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real
time clock and calendar. It also maintains the system configuration.
If the RTC battery becomes completely discharged, the system loses this
data and the real time clock and calendar stop working. The following
message appears when you turn on the power:

Press [F1] key to set Date/Time.
The computer’s RTC battery is a nickel metal hydride battery and should
be replaced only by your dealer or by a TOSHIBA service representative.
The battery can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or
disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or
regulations.
You can change the setting of RTC by pressing F1 key. Refer to
