If Something Goes Wrong - Toshiba Tecra A3 Series Resource Manual

If something goes wrong

Disconnect the AC adapter when the battery is fully
charged. Overcharging makes the battery hot and
shortens life.
If you are not going to use the computer for more than
eight hours, disconnect the AC adapter.
Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct
sunlight.
Disposing of used batteries safely
The life of a battery pack should last for years. When the
battery pack needs replacing, the main battery light flashes
amber shortly after you have fully recharged the battery.
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.
After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability
to hold a charge and you will need to replace them. Under
federal, state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of
old batteries by placing them in the trash.
Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your
local government authority for details regarding where to
recycle old batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If
you cannot find the information you need elsewhere, call
Toshiba at: (800) 457-7777.

Problems that are easy to fix
Your program stops responding.
If you are working with a program that suddenly freezes all
operations, chances are the program has stopped responding.
You may be able to exit the failed program without shutting
down the operating system or closing other programs.
To close a program that has stopped responding:
The computer's main battery is a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery, which
can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled, or disposed.
Putting spent batteries in the trash is not only irresponsible, it may
be illegal. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or
regulations.
Use only batteries recommended by Toshiba.
