User’s Manual 6-9
Power and Power-Up Modes
10. Never subject a battery pack to heat, and never store it or use it near a
heat source. The battery pack could ignite or explode when heated or
burned, possibly resulting in death or serious injury. Subjecting a
battery pack to heat could also cause caustic liquid to leak. It can also
cause failure, malfunction, or loss of stored data.
11. 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.
12. Never allow caustic electrolyte fluid leaked from the battery pack to
contact your eyes, body or clothing. If caustic electrolyte fluid from the
battery pack should contact your eyes, immediately wash your eyes
with large amounts of running water and obtain prompt medical
attention, to help prevent permanent eye damage. If electrolyte fluid
should contact any part of your body, immediately wash it off under
running water to help prevent skin rashes. If electrolyte fluid should
contact your clothes, promptly remove them to help prevent the
electrolyte fluid from contacting your body, possibly resulting in serious
injury.
13. Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power cable
plug from the plug socket if you observe any of the following conditions:
■ Offensive or unusual odor
■ Excessive heat
■ Discoloration
■ Deformation
■ Smoke
■ Other unusual event during use, such as abnormal sound
In such an event, immediately remove the battery pack from the PC. In
some instances, you might have to wait for the PC to cool down before
removing the battery pack, in order to avoid any possible minor injury
due to heat exposure. Do not turn on the PC's power again until an
authorized Toshiba service provider has checked it for safety.
Continued use could cause a fire or rupture possibly resulting in serious
injury or PC failure including but not limited to the loss of data.
14. Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable
laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as cellophane tape, on
the electrode during transportation to avoid a possible short circuit, fire
or electric shock. Failure to do so could possibly result in serious injury.
15. 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.
16. Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can cause
injury.
