Care and use of the battery pack
This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle
your battery pack properly.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
detailed precautions and handling instructions.
Make sure the battery is securely installed in the computer before
attempting to charge the battery pack. Improper installation could
generate smoke or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture.
Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can
cause injury.
The lithium ion battery pack can explode if not replaced, used,
handled or disposed of properly. Dispose of the battery as required by
local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by
TOSHIBA as replacements.
The computer's RTC battery is a lithium 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. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or
regulations.
Charge 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.
Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the
power and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery
pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode. Data could be lost.
Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is
enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable the
Wake-up on LAN function.
Charging the batteries
When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery or
Battery indicator will blink amber to indicate that only a few minutes of
battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC IN/
Battery or Battery indicator blinks, the computer will enable Hibernation
Mode so that you do not lose any data, and automatically turn itself off.
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.
