Changing the main battery
Never short circuit the battery pack by either accidentally or
intentionally bringing the battery terminals in contact with
another conductive object. This could cause serious injury or
fire, and could also damage the battery pack and computer.
❖ Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock,
vibration or pressure. The battery pack's internal pro-
tective device could fail, causing it to overheat or
ignite, resulting in caustic liquid leakage, or explo-
sion or fire, possibly resulting in death or serious
injury.
When your main battery has run out of power, you have two
options: plug in the AC adaptor or install a charged main
battery.
TECHNICAL NOTE: To avoid losing any data, save your files
and then either completely shut down your computer or put it
into Hibernation mode before changing the main battery.
