Changing the main battery
When your battery power is running low, you have two
options—connect the computer to an AC power source or
install a charged battery.
When handling a battery, be careful not to drop it or short-
circuit its terminals. Also, do not drop, hit or otherwise impact
the battery. Do not scratch or break the casing and do not twist
or bend the battery pack.
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in
Standby mode. Data in memory will be lost.
If your battery discharges fully, your information will be lost.
Be sure to save your work often.
Removing the battery from the computer
1 Save your work.
2 Turn off the computer via the Start menu or place it in
Hibernate mode according to the instructions in “Using
Hibernation” on page 108.
3 Remove all cables connected to the computer.
4 Close the display panel and turn the computer upside
down with the front side of the computer facing you.
