Traveling tips
Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an
equivalent battery pack specified in the User's Manual. Other
battery packs have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of
non-conforming battery packs could generate smoke or cause fire or
rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury.
After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability to hold
a charge and you will need to replace them. Under certain
applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to dispose of old
batteries by placing them in the trash.
Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local
government authority for details regarding where to recycle old
batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If you cannot find the
information you need elsewhere, call Toshiba at: (800) 457-7777.
In addition, Toshiba’s recycling initiatives include recycling
programs, events and consumer promotions. For details, please visit
