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.
The RTC battery is charged when the power of the computer is on.
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:
S *** Bad RTC battery ***
Check system. Then press [F1] key
The computer’s RTC battery is a lithium ion 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
Chapter 9, Troubleshooting, for details.
