Warning
1. Never allow caustic electrolyte fluid leaked from a battery pack to contact
your eyes, skin or clothing. If caustic electrolyte fluid should contact your
eyes, immediately wash your eyes with large amounts of running water and
seek medical attention, to help prevent eye damage. It electrolyte fluid
should contact your skin immediately wash it under running water to pre-
vent rash. If it contacts your clothes, promptly remove them to prevent the
fluid from contacting your skin or eyes.
2. Immediately turn off the power, disconnect the AC adaptor and remove the
battery if any of the following events are observed in the battery pack:
offensive or unusual odor, excessive heat, discoloration or deformation.
Never use the computer again until it has been checked by a TOSHIBA ser-
vice provider. It might generate smoke or fire, or the battery pack might
rupture.
3. Make sure the battery is securely installed in the computer before attempt-
ing to charge the battery pack. Improper installation could generate smoke
or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture.
4. Keep the battery pack out or reach of infants and children. It can cause
injury.
Caution
1. Never continue to use a battery pack after its recharging capacity has
become impaired, or after the display of a warning message indicating that
the battery pack’s power is exhausted. Continued use of an exhausted or
impaired battery pack could cause the loss of data.
2. Never dispose of battery packs with normal trash. Bring them to your
TOSHIBA dealer or to another recycling center to save resources and pre-
vent environmental damage. Cover the terminals with electrical tape to pre-
vent short-circuits, which could cause the battery pack to ignite or rupture.
3. Use only battery packs recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
4. Always make sure the battery pack is installed correctly and securely. Oth-
erwise, a battery pack could fall out and possibly cause injury.
5. Change the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5 and 35
degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak, battery
pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life might be shortened.
