detailed precautions and handling instructions.
The RTC battery does not charge while the computer is turned off even if
the AC adaptor is attached.
■ Make sure the battery is securely installed in the computer before
attempting to charge the battery pack. Improper installation could
generate smoke or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture.
■ Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can cause
injury.
■ The battery pack and high capacity battery pack are lithium ion
batteries, which can explode if not replaced, used, handled or
disposed of properly. Dispose of the battery as required by local
ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by
TOSHIBA as replacements.
■ The computer's RTC battery is a Ni-MH battery and should be

The battery can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or
disposed. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or
