CARING FOR YOUR BATTERIES

If your notebook is to be stored for a month
or longer, turn the machine off and remove
all Lithium ion batteries. Store your notebook
and batteries separately in a cool,dry location.
If you store your notebook with a battery
installed,the battery will discharge,and battery
life will be reduced. In addition,a faulty battery
might damage your notebook.
