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:
S **** RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is
inconsistent ****
Press [F1] key to set Date/Time.
You can change the Real Time Clock setting by pressing the F1 key. Refer
to Chapter 10, Troubleshooting for detail.
■ The battery pack is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not
properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery
as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries
recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
■ Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Standby Mode.
Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it will be lost.
When the computer is powered off in Standby Mode, and the AC
Adaptor is not connected, the battery pack supplies power to maintain
data and programs in memory. If the battery pack is completely
discharged, Standby Mode cannot function and the computer loses all
information in memory.
■ When the High capacity battery pack is connected to the computer, do
not hold on only to the High capacity battery pack when lifting the
computer up.
The High capacity battery pack may separate from the computer,
causing it to fall and cause injuries.
The computer’s RTC battery is a Ni-MH 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.
