Replacing the battery pack
When the battery pack reaches the end of its operating life you will need to install a
new one. The life of the battery pack is generally about 500 recharges. If the
Battery indicator flashes orange shortly after fully recharging the battery, the
battery pack needs to be replaced.
You might also replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare when you
are operating your computer away from an AC power source. This section explains
how to remove and install the battery pack.
Removing the battery pack
To replace a discharged battery, follow the steps below.
CAUTIONS: 1. When handling battery packs, be careful not to short
circuit the terminals. Also do not drop, hit or other-
wise apply impact; do not scratch or break the casing
and do not twist or bend the battery pack.
2. 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.

the battery or disconnect the universal AC adaptor
before the save is completed. Wait for the Disk
indicator to go out.
