Power and Power-Up Modes
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.
Caution
1. Use only battery packs recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
2. When installing a battery pack or before moving the PC, always make
sure the battery pack is inserted correctly and securely. If the battery
falls out, while you are carrying the PC, you could be injured or the
battery pack could be damaged.
3. 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.
4. Never continue to use a battery pack after its recharging capability has
become impaired, or after the warning message indicating that the
battery pack power is exhausted has been displayed.
5. Continued use of an exhausted or impaired battery pack could result in
the loss of data or damage to PC.
6. 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 Standby Mode. Data will be lost.
